Hello,
is somewhere any explanation about ChkDsk/autochk for Windows 2000, which
could explain me, why the check on NTFS is so quick? Is it enough to detect
bad sectors or some other disk/diskformat errors?

thanks Ondra.
 
Ondrej - at a command prompt, run chkdsk /?

This will show you the functions and parameters of chkdsk.

The speed of chkdsk depends on the size of the volume's index and data
structures and whether any parameters are present which will cause
repair operations. Chkdsk can be quite fast. It is also very reliable
and efficient; little escapes it.

The MS knowledge base probably has details about chkdsk's operation.
