Using The Chkdsk Utility - Nortel 1002rp Maintenance And Diagnostics

January 2007

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 is running.
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 will 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:
