Is there any difference in effectiveness when running chkdsk /r depending on how I initiate it? I can run it by right clicking on the C: drive/Properties. I can run it from the elevated command prompt. I understand it can be run by booting from the Vista install disk and going to a command prompt there. Is any of these methods more effective? Thanks

I am trying to find out what extra capability is available when chkdsk is run from any of the various ways to initiate it. Since they all run before windows starts, it seems like they should all be similar or identical. So any details or insight is appreciated. Thanks "motarola2" wrote: > > the recommened one is from the disk, at least thats the one we rely on > here in Alienware. > > > -- > motarola2 > > if it helped add points to reputation please >

OK thanks. Good info there, but still no indication that any one way is better than the others. I knew someone who insisted that running chkdsk from XP's Recovery Console was the best, but he could not say why.

It depends what you're trying to accomplish. If you run from the command prompt you have optional switch settings explained here: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/chkdsk.htm Using the Recovery Console is limited to only 2 switches explained here: http://commandwindows.com/recovery.htm Don't confuse commands with switches.

Type in: chkdsk /? at the command and you'll see all available switches and what they do.
