Re: Administrator privileges for chkdsk


Hello Paul,

If you doing this from within Vista, then you will just need to run a
elevated command prompt instead. You would right click on the Command
Prompt shortcut and click on "Run as administrator" to do this.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I want to run chkdsk but vista says I need adminstrator clout to do it.
This is in the command prompt, of course, so how can that be done,
please? Cheers
