How to set CHKDSK on ALL partions upon reboot

[c627627]

How can you set CHKDSK to run on all partions ( not just C: ) upon reboot.


C: partiton requires a reboot but others may be run from within Windows XP. What if you wanted to run CHKDSK on all partitions, not just C: upon reboot?


EDIT: Solution for Windows XP below but what about Windows 7?

*********************************************

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.

open command prompt

and use chkdsk switch to do all the partitions in your computer.

make sure to keep all your partitions BUSY by opening them. That way you will achieve what you want

You could also give this a try...

Create a file...C:\Y.TXT that contains: Y
Create a file...C:\CHKBOOT.BAT that contains...

chkdsk C: /F <c:\y.txt or chkdsk C: /F /R <c:\y.txt
exit

To add additional drives (partitions), just add the corresponding lines. You could probably also do this with one file as follows...

echo y | chkdsk Drive: /F
exit

...then just add the batch file to your Startup group.

Thank you for your help.

2. Use chkdsk switch to do all the partitions in your computer. - I assume you mean type chkdsk c: /f
etc... but that would simply launch chkdsk on all partitions except c:

If my assumption is incorrect, please clarify.

3. Make sure to keep all your partitions BUSY by opening them: You mean simply open D drive folder and E drive folder and F drive folder?

2- chkdsk c: /f is quicker than chkdsk c: /r.

if you want to do chkdsk d: /f for example, you have to open a file or folder in drive D BEFORE doing that.

if you do that, winxp will tell you if you want to DISMOUNT , you choose NO and it asks you if it can do it at REBOOT, you choose YES

3-YES

What about Windows 7?

You've posted a lot of threads about things removed from Windows 7 that were in pervious versions of windows, do you actually miss them or are you just trying to find a lot of them and point them out?
