Hey, I know this probably in the wrong area, but I couldn't decide A+ forum or this.
But I wanted to know does chkdsk /f unmount a drive?

You would need /x to force a dismount if necessary. /f will not dismount a volume on its own.Jumping on the IT blogging band wagon -- http://www.jefferyland.com/ -

Ok. Well then, it brings to me to ask, why would someone need to dismount the drive? Example. I had a customer server that I ran chkdsk and it found errors on the drive, somebody told me to dismount the drive then run chkdsk /f. They actually said chkdsk /f will dismount it but I see thats not the case. My question is, why can't I just run chkdsk /f without the dismount?Next up
