The basic invocation of CHKDSK, simply “chkdsk ”, will scan the disk and display status information, but it will not fix any errors that are encountered. Reboot into recovery mode to perform the scan or create a Windows Recovery Tool, to perform the process.
If you’re having issues with running the above command because the drive is in use by another process, that because you’re trying to scan your primary drive (boot drive), when it’s being used by the OS. You can also type “ chkdsk /scan” to scan the disk online and attempt to repair it. Now, type “ chkdsk c: /x /r“, without the quotes, to dismount the drive, scan it for errors, and repair it. The next screen to appear is a User Account Control (UAC) window which will ask for permission to launch the Windows Command Processor and let it make changes to the PC. Right-click the Start menu and select, Windows PowerShell (Admin). Strange how you end up feeling that this community is part of your life, even though, in my case, this is just a hobby. Sad to hear about Kels' wife passing away, though. I am also pleased to see all the usual people still thriving on here. I just wanted to thank you on everyone's behalf for taking time to help. Having said that, I do want to mention that I have been out of the loop for a while (hadn't visited the msfn forum in a very long time), and browsing around to catch up, I couldn't help but notice how pleasant and helpful you are towards people asking questions. But I don't want to risk the TRIM not working as a result, nor increase my chance of my OS failing due to the increased odds of a drive failure affecting my OS. If anything, I have been considering on using a RAID array to merge my SSD drives. I personally can't afford to go any higher than 128 GB.Īnd, all those chores you mentioned, are very fast with SSD Drives in fact, defragmenting is not needed at all on SSD drives.! They are very expensive to begin with, so usually their main function is to be your main OS boot Drive. 
Not sure I agree with you when it comes to SSD drives.
