If you want to scan one or more hard drive partitions on reboot *not from Windows*, what is the command to set that up?
Every single thread on the internet talks about manual individual scanning from Windows which means you have to wait for each partition/drive scan to finish before manually scanning another one.
This old trick does not work on newer OS if you want to scan multiple drives on reboot:

To schedule CHKDSK on next boot, open any folder on the partition that you wish to check >
My Computer > Right Click on drive partition > Properties > Tools TAB > Check now...
If a folder on this drive is open, you will be given an option to do a scan on next boot.
Repeat for any other partitions that need to be scanned upon reboot.
Reboot and before Windows boots into desktop, chkdsk will commence for all partitions.
