PinkPanther 0 Posted April 15, 2002 Hello all, Is there any Disk Checker/Fixer software that can actually fix disk errors without rebooting or simply asking me to run chkdsk /f? I have used Norton and Ontrack SystemSuite, and both, when they find a disk error, tell you to run the chkdsk command in Windows to repair it. I am just wondering why they even include Disk Checkers if all they do is to delegate to the one built into the OS. I am looking for a Disk Checker that can check and fix the errors on my drives without me having to reboot at any stage of the process - does such a thing exist? Thanks for the info Share this post Link to post
Alien 1 Posted April 18, 2002 Last time I ran NDD it told me to run CHKDSK!!! Share this post Link to post
PinkPanther 0 Posted April 18, 2002 Thanks for the replies thus far. AS I mentioned in the original post, I have already used Norton Disk Doctor, and it fails to correct any errors it finds on the drive used by the Operating system (C: drive 99% of the time). It merely instructs to run chkdsk /f in order to fic the errors. What I am looking for is a disk doctor that can fix erros on ANY hard disk without using chkdsk. If I find one on my own, I will make sure to post the informaiton here. Cheers Share this post Link to post
Thunder 0 Posted April 19, 2002 You won't find one that will fix an error while Windows is running. Let chkdsk do it, it does a fine job. Share this post Link to post
PinkPanther 0 Posted April 23, 2002 Thanks for the replies ... just to clarify, I was not in any way implying that chkdsk does not do its job adequately. I am just very confused as to why companies like Ontrack and Symantec even include a disk "fixer" when all they do is delegate to chkdsk, and I wanted a disk fixer that did the job it CLAIMED it could do - that's all Apparently such a product does not exist, so yes, it's back to the console for me to run chkdsk with its many options. Thanks again, everyone. Share this post Link to post
