Using the chkdsk utility

The chkdsk utility checks a specified disk on the server and displays a status report. You can run the utility on drives C, D, E, or F. It is an online utility, but it reduces system performance while it runs.

The chkdsk utility checks for errors at the Windows file system level. CallPilot can be affected by errors at both the Windows and CallPilot file system levels. The chkdsk utility does not detect CallPilot file system level errors.

Note: A version of this utility, called autocheck, automatically runs during Windows startup. Output from this utility appears on the blue startup screen.

Chkdsk utility syntax

The chkdsk utility uses the following syntax:

chkdsk [drive:][path]filename] [/F] [/V] [/R]
