| | Won't let me chkdsk /f in admin 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 |

| | Re: Won't let me chkdsk /f in admin 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??

| | Re: Won't let me chkdsk /f in admin 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.

In addition to that part, the tutorial also shows you different methods on how to run chkdsk and how to run the different chkdsk command options. It helps on differnet levels for what someone may need help with on chkdsk. Sometimes the simpler things are not always as obvious for people just starting out with computers, so I try to include everything in the tutorials for all levels of experience to make it easy to understand for all.
