Bat file for CHKDSK - problems with double question, how can I answer yes?

[Gak]

I'm trying to create a bat file so that I can run chkdsk on a drive with a single click. However there is a page file on the drive and even though I can overcome the first question about forcing the drive dismount I'm unable to answer the second about scheduling the chkdsk.

This is what happens. What can I do to overcome this?

@ECHO OFF

ECHO Y.|Chkdsk D: /F /X

That's the simple way of doing it, there was another method that worked on more finiky things that don't except pipes but I can't remember sorry.
Though the code above will do what you need it to do.

I would recommend using var's for each drive letter and shortcuts that determine the drive letter.

Ex.

@ECHO OFF

ECHO Y.|Chkdsk %1: /F /X

Shortcut:

Chkdsk.bat D

Or something like that, might take a few tries to get the syntax correct and such on that one (the colon char might need to be removed from the batch and put into the shortcut instead).
After which you can make a sub folder in your menu system/startmenu and add a shortcut for each one, or whatever you want.
Regardless the 1st box of of code will do what you need it to do.
Just remember, "ECHO." means LF-CR or CR probably to be more precise (ie return or enter whatever you wanna call it) .

Well, unfortunately, still a no go... It stills stops when faced the same question...

Weird It worked 100% for me last night, after I woke up a min ago it even run the chkdsk on startup on x:, which was my test (my win7 partition).

The only thing that looks off on your script is the pause, which you use I assume to check your batch file, which of course it would prompt you to press any key type of deal.
I should be going right passed the prompt for Y or N...

Try it from the cmd line it's self instead of batch and it'll work.

Disregard my last post. I don't know where my head was. Maybe I just wasn't sufficiently woken up.

It is working fine. The /x switch did the trick.

And thanks for the help!

I've done the following for convenience, just want to run the batch once a week or so and also because I don't know that much about batch files.

C:

  @ECHO OFF

    ECHO y|Chkdsk C: /f
    ECHO y|Chkdsk D: /f /x
           Chkdsk E: /f
           Chkdsk F: /f
           Chkdsk G: /f

Shutdown /r

pause
