hi,

thanks post.

did receive below warning in daily health reports?

critical alerts: 1 or more server hard drives must checked errors

if yes, according research, event solved with chkdsk /f /r. since drive doesn’t have drive letter allocated it. can use volume guid.

to find volume guid, type in following @ elevated command prompt:

mountvol

this return command syntax mountvol command, followed existing volumes , mount points. we’re interested in volume guid above line:

*** no mount points ***

it this:

\\?\volume{12345678-1234-5678-9abc-123456789abc}\

we take volume guid minus trailing slash , feed chkdsk, this:

chkdsk /f \\?\volume{12345678-1234-5678-9abc-123456789abc}

this allow chkdsk perform consistency check , fix of drive allocated windows server backup without needing allocate drive letter.
