I have an external USB floppy drive that im trying to test floppy disks for bad clusters on my Windows 10 PC but when I use CMD window to run CHKDSK I get:
The type of the file system is FAT.
The volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk
might report errors when no corruption is present.
Windows is verifying files and folders...
File and folder verification is complete.
Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
No further action is required.
1,457,664 bytes total disk space.
512 bytes in 1 hidden files.
512 bytes in 1 files.
1,456,640 bytes available on disk.
512 bytes in each allocation unit.
2,847 total allocation units on disk.
2,845 allocation units available on disk.
and when I try to run CHKDSK with the /R command I get:
The type of the file system is FAT.
Cannot lock current drive.
the above happens if I use the /X and /R at the same time, I have no other programs open using the floppy drive and I know this drive is ok as I have used it before for testing disks but its just this time now its decided to say "Cannot lock current drive".
