asked on

schedule chkdsk

How do I schedule the "chkdsk" function.  I can't find the function to run in the "browse" feature of schedule tasks.  The reason for this is that I attempt to execute the "error checking" feature of tools and get the message that it can't run due to programs running in windows and to schedule for the next restart of windows.  Ideas?

You really can't using the XP chkdisk. The OS needs to reboot to run this utitlity and have it fix any errors.

Hello lennyjohnson =)

If u have Checked the check box of Automatically Fix System Files. then chkdsk will ask to restart the system and check the disk for erros at next bootup.

!! GOOD LUCK !!
