Chkdsk and defragment on multiple partitions?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I can run CHKDSK on one at a time and only after a reboot. Is there a way I
can set CHKDSK to run on all partitions?
I have 2 physical drives.
Pri Master: 120GB divided into C. D, & E, roughly equal size.
Pri Slave: 160GB, F, unpartitioned.
Can a similar thing be done with defragment, I have Raxco PerfectDisk
installed?

Hi,

This script here can help with defrag:

But you cannot do the same with chkdsk. Also, is the pri-slave is being
used, then it is not unpartitioned but rather contains only one partition.

Each partition is classed as an individual drive. therefore you can only
chkdsk and defrag one dive (partition) at a time. the same would apply with
perfect disk.
