📎 AI Summary:
The original poster, pstein, asked whether it's possible to verify NTFS partition integrity on a Windows 7 system using a BootCD with Windows XP, questioning if the outdated XP chkdsk utility would work. Neemobeer responded that since Windows 7 uses the same NTFS version as XP (v3.1), the XP chkdsk utility should be capable of verifying the NTFS partition, implying cross-compatibility. The overall sentiment suggests confidence that XP tools can be used to check Windows 7 NTFS partitions due to shared file system versions.

Assume I want to check the partition NTFS integrity of a Win 7 system from a BootCD with WinXP.

Is this possible?

Or is the WinXP chkdsk utility outdated and NOT usable for Win 7 NTFS systems?

Windows 7 uses the same version of NTFS as XP NTFS v3.1 so it should work.


From an elevated command prompt you can verify the NTFS info with this command

fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo C:
