Hello,

I have a remote user that I suspect has a corrupted hard disk. I asked the to run chkdsk /f C: which they did and it seemed to go ok however when they rebooted the check did not run.

I think this may be due to the program being corrupted?

Where can I download a replacement and will i need a specific version?

Thanks

    I suspect this is a case of a wrong command, however I might not be correct.
    Try using
    Chkdsk C: /r
    There is no site from where you can download Chkdsk, however there are always 3rd party alternatives.

    just double checked with the user and turns out he is using win 7 which explains the DISM error.

    will i be able to swap my (win 10) chkdsk.exe with his (win 7) or will it not be compatible?

    In the Search box, type Command Prompt.

    1. Right-click on the Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
    2. Once the User Account Control window pops up, click Yes.
    3. Type the command below and press Enter. (C: represents the drive letter of your hard drive that has an issue)

    chkdsk C: /f /r

    the exact command that was entered was chkdsk /f C:   

    Should the driver letter have gone before the switch?

    Ill have the user try Chkdsk C: /r and cross my fingers. (they are far away and a remote solution is very much preferred)
