    Question Chkdsk on Folder-Mounted Drive

    I have a 60GB SSD as my OS installation and a 1TB as my files/programs installation. The 1TB is partitioned off down the middle and holds files/programs respectively. Each partition is mounted as a NTFS folder in respective directories. What I was wondering is if it's possible to run error checking (chkdsk) on those partitions since they're mounted as folders instead of drives and if so, do I tell chkdsk (from command line please) to look at the logical name of the volume according to NTFS?

    Thanks in advance.
    Only those who try will become.

    someone may correct me on this, but chkdsk does volume checks, which seems to mean to me that if you do a chkdsk on the main drive, it will also do the mounted ones. If they are ntfs then windows should detect any file system errors and run it if needed anyway.
