adweston; The GUI for chkdsk reminds me of Win98, I never use it
But anyway, that thing will just call chkdsk.exe anyway, there is no difference between them
And yea, the /R switch is nice, but takes a decade to do since all empty space is scanned too, it takes the same time as a full format (and that is available in the GUI aswell, named; "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"
I did not bring up your other 2 points because they are the same as the one I talked about, the Master File Table also gets corrupted because it is written to very frequently
If multiple runs of chkdsk results in the OS crashing that just means the disk is unreliable (and that chkdsk finds new errors on each new scan)
