Did you mean CHKDSK A: (which would test the A: drive)?

Just to see what commandline parameters are available, CHKDSK /? gave
this:

CHKDSK 1.24 Disk maintenance utility
Copyright (C) 1990,1998 Caldera, Inc.  All rights reserved.

CHKDSK [d:][wildspec] [/F] [/V] [/B] [/D] [/S] [/WP] [/NS]

  /F        write corrections to the disk
  /V        verbose display of file names encountered
  /B        runs in batch file mode, suppressing pauses
  /D        displays detailed error and statistics report for Stacker drives
  /S        surface scan Stacker drives
  /WP       check/repair any write-protected Stacker drives
  /NS       perform check on Stacker drives with Stacker test disabled


    
    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
