How to run a disk test with CHKDSK
-
I'm trying to run the chkdsk command, but it's not working.
It is possible to execute it through triggercmd?. -
@fcovalls, I was able to run chkdsk with this command line as a background command:
chkdsk d: /scanYou might want to send the output to a log file though so you can see what it did, like this:
chkdsk d: /scan > d:\tools\chkdsk.logchkdsk won't run in foreground mode because it requires elevated privileges.

Hi, Russ,
It doesn't work, it indicates that it requires elevated privileges.
Also in backgroud. -
@fcovalls, that's odd. It worked for me as a background command. It should work because background commands run in the context of the TRIGGERcmdAgent Windows service which runs as Local System, which should allow elevated commands to run.
This is what I see in the log when I ran it via TRIGGERcmd:
