First, I am using Windows XP Pro. I have got errors in my computer and I

want to scan it using DOS. I have used "chkdsk.exe" and it checks it only in

read-only mode. I want to fix those errors but it cannot continue any

further in read-only mode. What command do I need to use in DOS to fix the

errors?

It is unlikely that you can check your disk partition in "DOS".

You most probably have an NTFS partition, which is inaccessible

to DOS. Perhaps you mean the Command Prompt? If so then

this command will do it:

 

chkdsk c: /r

 

You will be required to reboot the machine.

Thank you. I will try that. The other way didn't work because I do have an

NTSF partition. DOS didn't recognize it. I will get back to you.

Re: DOS

 

I successfully ran chkdsk according to what you told me to do. I only had

one instant. It did not give me a report. Everything looks fine but now I

need to know how to retrieve the report so I can see what chkdsk did. How do

I get it? Thank you in advance.

I believe that it's too late. There is a command- line switch to save

the report, and I'm certain you didn't use it.

What is that switch? Any chkdsk done via autocheck will write the

report to the application event log, but then I am certain you knew

that, didn't you...

Look for Event 1001 from Winlogon source in the Application event log.

To open the Event Viewer enter eventvwr in the Start Menu Run box.

None as there IS no DOS (as in MS-DOS) in XP. Sorry.

Nope. Have never manually run it, and have never been interested in

looking back to see what it did.

 

I was thinking about the old DOS days.

Thank you so much. I retrieved the files just as you said and saw what I

wanted to see. You can tell Old Duke that I came from the old days too but

DOS is still around.
