    I have a small 'boot' partition on a large hard drive and several large 'data' partitions. I would like to set the checkdisk of each 'data' partition in turn, to automatically start on the next partition when the checkdisk of the 'previous' partition has finished. I have not been able to use Scheduled Tasks for this as it returns the error of 'Can not start' - I suspect because I did not just ask for 'checkdisk', but for 'checkdisk D'. How to fix this ?

    Why do you want to run chkdsk frequently ? Are you facing any problems ?

    From your question its not clear if you would like to run chkdsk on one partition only after the boot or on all the partitions.

    For starters, until I have a scheduling method that succeeds, I am ASKING about just one partition. Once that works, I intend to set it up to checkdisk all the partitions on that hard drive sequentially. Rather than checkdisk 'often', I'll do that when I feel the need.
