Is there any way to pause chkdsk then shutdown the computer then boot it up again and resume from where it was paused?

the full story is hard drive keeps disconnecting and reconnecting so i wanted to run chkdsk with /r but chkdsk apparently requires more than 24 hours to finish this hdd (it's not because of the time shown, it really takes that much time) but the problem is the power goes out once a day everyday so it's impossible to run chkdsk unless there's a way to pause chkdsk and resume it later.

CHKDSK is not a bright App - It just does what you tell it to and will not pick up after a restart. It will just start over.

Get the HDD manufacturer's diagnostic App and check the driver for errors. This is most likely why it is disconnecting trying to run CHKDSK.

You can also try CHKDSK without the fix parameter to see if it runs faster and picks out drive errors. A drive test App is better.

According to the post How to safely stop a chkdsk /r /f C: on Windows 10? stopping chkdsk by power cut is not always safe.

Some flags can make chkdsk go faster:

  • /i : Use with NTFS only. Performs a less vigorous check of index entries, which reduces the amount of time required to run chkdsk.
  • /c : Use with NTFS only. Does not check cycles within the folder structure, which reduces the amount of time required to run chkdsk.
