Le guide ultime de CHKDSK /R : réparer les erreurs du disque dur

Table des matières
What is the CHKDSK /R Command?
Let’s break down this essential Windows tool. CHKDSK, short for “Check Disk,” is a command-line utility built into Windows NT-based operating systems (like Windows 10, 11, and Server editions). Its primary role is to verify the integrity of a disk’s file system and metadata.
When you add the /r parameter, you instruct CHKDSK to perform its most comprehensive repair operation. The command chkdsk /r does two critical things:
- Locates Bad Sectors: It performs a full disk surface scan to find physical mauvais secteurs on the hard drive.
- Recovers Readable Information: It attempts to recover any readable data stored in those identified bad sectors and moves it to healthy parts of the disk.
Think of your hard drive as a vast library. CHKDSK /R is the librarian who not only checks if all the books (files) are correctly catalogued (file system errors) but also inspects every shelf (disk sector) for physical damage. If a shelf is broken, the librarian salvages any legible pages from books on that shelf and places them on a new, stable shelf.
Key Differences: CHKDSK /F vs. CHKDSK /R
Users often confuse the /f et /r switches. Understanding this is key to using the tool correctly.
chkdsk /f: This parameter fixes logical errors in the file system, such as corrupted file pointers or directory errors. It’s faster and is the first step for common file system issues.chkdsk /r: This includes all the fixes of/fet adds the intensive physical disk scan for bad sectors. Because of this low-level scan, running chkdsk /r takes significantly longer—often many hours for large drives.
Conseil de pro : Since /r incorporates the functions of /f, you typically only need to run chkdsk /r when you suspect physical disk problems.
When Should You Run the CHKDSK /R Command?
Using this powerful command unnecessarily can waste hours. Run it when you notice these specific warning signs:
- Frequent System Crashes or Blue Screens: Errors like
UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTIONouKERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERRORoften relate to disk issues. - Unusual Noises from the Hard Drive: Repetitive clicking or grinding sounds can indicate physical read/write head issues.
- Files and Folders Become Corrupted: You get sudden “file is corrupted” errors when opening previously fine documents.
- Significant Performance Drops: The system is extremely sluggish, especially when accessing files.
- Windows Suggests It: After an improper shutdown, Windows might prompt you to check the disk for errors on the next startup.
A Common Scenario: Your external hard drive starts disconnecting randomly. After reconnecting, some folders appear empty. Before assuming data loss, running chkdsk /r on that drive letter could recover files trapped in unstable sectors.
How to Use the CHKDSK /R Command
Crucial Warning: Avant de commencer chkdsk /r, back up any critical data if possible. The process is generally safe but is a major disk operation.
Method 1: Via Command Prompt (For Non-System Drives)
This is the best method for checking an external USB drive, secondary internal drive, or a non-OS partition.
- Ouvrez l'Invite de commande en tant qu'administrateur. Search for “cmd,” right-click “Command Prompt,” and select “Run as administrator.”
- Enter the Command. Type the following and press Enter:
chkdsk x: /r
(Replace “X:” with the actual letter of the drive you want to check, e.g., chkdsk D: /r).
- Schedule the Scan. If the drive is in use, you’ll be prompted to schedule the scan for the next system restart. Type
Yand press Enter, then restart your computer.
Method 2: For Your Main Windows (C:) Drive
Since the system drive is always in use, CHKDSK will always schedule itself for the next boot.
- Open an Admin Command Prompt as shown above.
- Type :
chkdsk C : /r
- Press Enter. Type
Yto confirm the scheduled check. - Redémarrez votre ordinateur. The scan will run before Windows loads, displaying a blue screen with a progress percentage. Be patient; this can take several hours.
Method 3: Using the Graphical Drive Tools
For users uncomfortable with the command line:
- Open “This PC.”
- Right-click the drive (e.g., C:) and select Propriétés.
- Aller à la page Tools tabulation.
- Under “Error checking,” click Vérifier. For a deep scan equivalent to
/r, Windows may need to schedule it for the next restart.
Understanding the Risks: Can CHKDSK /R Cause Data Loss?
This is a critical question. The chkdsk r command’s primary goal is to prevent data loss by fixing errors. However, in complex failure scenarios, risks exist:
- Pre-existing Severe Damage: If the drive is already failing physically (with numerous bad sectors), the intensive read operations of the
/rscan can push it over the edge. - Corruption du système de fichiers : In rare cases, if the file system metadata is severely corrupted, CHKDSK’s repair logic might make corrective decisions that render files inaccessible or cause a partition to disappear from the system’s view.
- Power Interruption: If the power fails or the system is shut down during the multi-hour CHKDSK /R scan, the file system can be left in a far worse, inconsistent state.
The Bottom Line: CHKDSK /R is not a outil de récupération des données. It is a disk repair utility. Its algorithm prioritizes a structurally sound file system over preserving every piece of user data in complex corruption cases. This is why having a backup is non-negotiable before running it.
Recovering Data After a Failed CHKDSK Operation
If you’ve run the chkdsk /r command and now find a partition missing, files gone, or data corrupted, stop using the drive immediately. Further writes can overwrite the “lost” data, making recovery impossible. This is where a dedicated, professional logiciel de récupération de données devient essentielle.
