                              CHKDSK──Examples
 
To find out how much data is stored on drive C and how much space is still
free, and to check the disk for errors, type the following command:
 
    chkdsk c:
 
CHKDSK pauses and displays messages if it encounters errors.
 
To redirect the output of CHKDSK to a file named STATUS, type the following
command:
 
    chkdsk a: > status
 
Because the output is redirected, MS-DOS does not repair errors it
encounters during the check; but it records all the errors in a report file.
Afterward, you can use CHKDSK with the /F switch without redirection to
correct any errors noted in the status report.
