DOS

First, I am using Windows XP Pro. I have got errors in my computer and I
want to scan it using DOS. I have used "chkdsk.exe" and it checks it only in
read-only mode. I want to fix those errors but it cannot continue any
further in read-only mode. What command do I need to use in DOS to fix the
errors?

It is unlikely that you can check your disk partition in "DOS".
You most probably have an NTFS partition, which is inaccessible
to DOS. Perhaps you mean the Command Prompt? If so then
this command will do it:

chkdsk c: /r

You will be required to reboot the machine.

Thank you. I will try that. The other way didn't work because I do have an
NTSF partition. DOS didn't recognize it. I will get back to you.

I successfully ran chkdsk according to what you told me to do. I only had
one instant. It did not give me a report. Everything looks fine but now I
need to know how to retrieve the report so I can see what chkdsk did. How do
I get it? Thank you in advance.

I believe that it's too late. There is a command- line switch to save
the report, and I'm certain you didn't use it.

What is that switch? Any chkdsk done via autocheck will write the
report to the application event log, but then I am certain you knew
that, didn't you...

Look for Event 1001 from Winlogon source in the Application event log.
To open the Event Viewer enter eventvwr in the Start Menu Run box.

None as there IS no DOS (as in MS-DOS) in XP. Sorry.

Nope. Have never manually run it, and have never been interested in
looking back to see what it did.

I was thinking about the old DOS days.

Thank you so much. I retrieved the files just as you said and saw what I
wanted to see. You can tell Old Duke that I came from the old days too but
DOS is still around.
