Well, it might take a looong time depending on how laaarge your
external HDD is, which is unspecified.
And, if you run it the way you are - from Start, Run, you will not
have a log file when you are done, which may or may not matter to you.
And if you run it that way and go away and come back later, it may
finish or encounter an error and you will not see any results and the
DOS box will be gone with no trace that it ever ran (because that is
the way you ran it). That is what it should do with those options.
Is that your intent or do you want to log the results or be able to
follow it and read the results later?
You do need exclusive access for your boot drive and it will want to
run on the next reboot if you respond in the affirmative - that is how
it is supposed to work.
Sounds like everything is working fine!
What do you mean - the drive sounds like it dismounting by itself?
---END QUOTE---
Of course DO like to have a log with results, but as I wrote I couldn't do
drive checking from Windows Explorer, because "exclusive access was needed"
which it didn't have (although I log in as administrator).
Then there is the option to plan disk checks at next reboot. I've tried that
and this command seems ignored the first time, so I tried again. Now... it
started checking the (2 internal) drives, which takes a very long time, and
it starts all over for a second(!) time which of course takes even more
time! And once started I suppose the process can't be interrupted. Working
his way is a nightmare!
Yes, the external drive sometimes dismounts by itself. How can I put it
differently? I have to take out the power adapter to make it start again and
then it is accessible again... for a while...
