I thought I could figure out how to run chkdsk /f . How do I run chkdsk /f?

I ran chkdsk /f in administrator account. Clicked "start" then opened a DOS
window. Typed CD\ to get to root directory. Then typed in chkdsk /f.
Below is the message I got:
"Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges.
You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode."

I am on a 32-bit Vista Home Premium (SP1) box.

Thanks for the help
Bob

Click to expand...

Right-click the command prompt shortcut (Accessories start menu folder), and
select "Run as Administrator".

You need to post a tutorial to run chkdsk??

The original poster got a message that says "You have to invoke this
utility running in elevated mode."

It is as simple as running CMD in elevated mode (as Admin) and then running
"chkdsk /f"

Does a tutorial really have to be written for that??
 
If Bob knows what the message " you have to invoke this utility running
inelevated mode" means, he would not have posted the question here. The
tutorial is for people who DO NOT know. When one does not know, Nothing is
obvious. This forum is for people to exchange knowledge, not to redicule
others.
