Want to run a utility to check for disk health every week on Windows 7 pro
Computer: HP z440
Operating system: Windows 7 Pro
Question: I want to check all drives for bad blocks every week. I want to automatically run a utility each week.
Q1.) Why would chkdsk be the best utility to use?
Q2.) If chkdsk is the best utility then what commands should I put into a batch file to run chkdsk ? I am not a batch file expert. Please include ALL the commands you would put into a batch file (like echo off or cd or whatever you think are best) Do not assume I know what to do. May be you could share a file you use.
Q3) What are the best chkdsk switches to use? /f and /v? or something else?
Q4.) What utility is better than chkdsk?
