TIA Newt From Article: http://www.computerhope.com/software/scandisk.htm ********************************** Below is a listing of available switches in MS-DOS scandisk 6.2 and below. It is important to note that these commands will likely not work in Windows 95 and above. scandisk [ drive: | /all] [/checkonly | /autofix [/nosave] | /custom] [/fragment] [/surface] [/mono] [/nosave] [/nosummary] /all - Checks and repairs all local drives at once. /checkonly - Checks drive for errors but will not make repairs. /autofix - Fixes errors without asking you first. Saves lost clusters by default as files in the drives root directory. Cannot be used with /checkonly or /custom. /custom - Runs Scandisk using the settings in [custom] section of the scandisk.ini file. Cannot be used with /autofix or /checkonly. /surface - Automatically checks surface after other areas are tested without prompting you first. When used with /custom, will override any /surface setting in [Custom] section of scandisk.ini. /fragment - Checks individual files for fragmentation. Must specify a drive, path and file name; cannot use any other switches. /mono - Uses a monochrome display instead of color. /nosave - Deletes all lost clusters found by Scandisk. Can be used with /autofix. /nosummary - Prevents display of full-screen summary after each drive. Use with /autofix to prevent prompts for undo diskette. ********************************** There is no information on switches for subsequent versions of Scandisk, but it is not likely that any of them have changed ...
