In computing, CHKDSK (short for "check disk") is a system tool and command in DOS, Digital Research FlexOS,[1] IBM/Toshiba 4690 OS,[2] IBM OS/2,[3] Microsoft Windows and related operating systems. It verifies the file system integrity of a volume and attempts to fix logical file system errors. It is similar to the fsck command in Unix and similar to Microsoft ScanDisk, which co-existed with CHKDSK in Windows 9x and MS-DOS 6.x.
