Why do you ask this on a Linux forum?

Anyway. use

Code:

chkdsk /?

to get a list of options. Note the diferences between FAT and NTFS filesystems.

In the Linux newbie forum it says direct any Windows questions to general.

Thank you for the help that probably would have worked. I'm sure I did search for the answer before posting here, but I didn't go into too much depth.
