Running chkdsk on win 7
I need to run chkdsk on a drive other than c. When I type in chkdsk f: /f I receive the question. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)
If I click Y will it make this drive unavailable to me? Thank you kuzzz |

Double click on "My Computer" then right click the drive you want to run chkdsk on then to Properties, then to Tools, Error checking. Should work.

No but try it and see if it runs. When you ran chkdsk did run it as adminitrator (right clicked on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator)?? And you got that error?
Are you sure the drive letter you used was correct? When you get that message in Windows 7 it is so chkdsk can check the volume without any locks on the drive. Once checkdsk is done it should remount itself after a re-boot.. |

Oh ok I was worried when it said: Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)
I didn't know it would remount the drive. Because I have a lot of important data on the drive. So it is safe to say Y kuzzz |

To be "SAFE" I would back up your data, as you never know.
