Hi, I recently ran a chkdsk on my D: drive and it asked me to unmount it.  Later when I checked on it, it was still checking and I noticed all the shortcuts on the desktop that linked to the D: Drive were gone.  I stopped the chkdsk and thought they would return when the drive remounted, but they didn't.  I had to perform a system restore to get them back.  My question is can I run chkdsk /f /r on my D: Drive from safe mode with command prompt and not have to unmount the D: Drive or worry about shortcuts going missing. 

 

Thank you very much

Anyone?

The shortcuts doesn't normally disappear when you unmount a volume, except if it is a bug of Windows 7 which I don't have. That's all I can say.
