commande chkdsk r
Your computer starts running inexplicably slow, strange clicking noises emerge from the system, or worse, you encounter the dreaded “Blue Screen of Death.” Often, these symptoms point to a deeper issue: disk errors. For decades, Windows has included a powerful built-in utility to combat these problems. The chkdsk r commande is a critical first-aid tool for your storage drives. However, while it’s designed to fix issues, in rare cases, the repair process itself can lead to inaccessible partitions or perte de données. This comprehensive guide will explain everything about the CHKDSK /R command, from its core function to safe execution. Moreover, we provide a proven safety net—Magic Data Recovery—for scenarios where things don’t go as planned.

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:

  1. Locates Bad Sectors: It performs a full disk surface scan to find physical mauvais secteurs on the hard drive.
  2. 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 /f et 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_EXCEPTION ou KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR often 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.

  1. Ouvrez l'Invite de commande en tant qu'administrateur. Search for “cmd,” right-click “Command Prompt,” and select “Run as administrator.”
  2. 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).

  1. Schedule the Scan. If the drive is in use, you’ll be prompted to schedule the scan for the next system restart. Type Y and 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.

  1. Open an Admin Command Prompt as shown above.
  2. Type :

chkdsk C : /r

  1. Press Enter. Type Y to confirm the scheduled check.
  2. 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:

  1. Open “This PC.”
  2. Right-click the drive (e.g., C:) and select Propriétés.
  3. Aller à la page Tools tabulation.
  4. 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:

  1. Pre-existing Severe Damage: If the drive is already failing physically (with numerous bad sectors), the intensive read operations of the /r scan can push it over the edge.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
