How to scan drive for errors? Easily?


thepregnantgod

Question

Folks, I know Stablebit scanner will show that a file system is damaged.  Windows 8 does this as well.  I've gotten the flag in the bottom left corner that says a disk needs repaired.  

 

However, when I click repair it says that I don't have permission.

 

Is there a way to easily do this without adding drive letters to the 24 drives and individually checking them?  Inevitably, it's the very last drive that has errors!

Under Windows 8 Action Center, it states a drive has errors, please scan.

 

When I do scan, it says it doesn't have permission.

 

This is likely because the drive is not mounted to a letter or path - simply part of the pool.

 

I have to go into Disk Management, mount it/assign it a drive letter then scan.

 

Painful considering the amount of drives I have.

Yeah, some of the built in tools don't like it when you don't have the disks mounted.... Which is kind of sad, considering that the tools in question don't need them mounted. 

As I said, you can use the volume ID to run chkdsk manually.

 

 

Though, at least for easy, maybe you should mount the drives to folder paths:
