Chkdsk on Windows 2003 Service Pack 1/Service Pack 2

Sabo, Eric

Does anyone know of any good articles that explain what exactly happens
during the different stages of a chkdsk?

Are there any differences between Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 for
chkdsk?

Thanks,
Eric Sabo

What sort of things do you wish to know?

Googling this might help:

[ chkdsk technical site:microsoft.com "/r" "/f" ]

I doubt there are any significant differences between SP1 and SP2 unless you
see new switches.

The following pretty much did it for me:

/F Fixes errors on the disk.
/R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
(implies /F).

But surely you want to know more if you are asking.... <grin>
