Carey,
Chkdsk is used to verify the integrity of the file system on a given
partition, not the integrity of the system files. You may be confusing this
with sfc. It is useful on any partition where there is a possible problem
with the file system integrity. It is not limited to the partition where the
system is installed.

Bob, there is no reason whatsoever to run chkdsk on every boot. Schedule it
to run when there is a problem, otherwise leave the drive alone.
