Problem:
What are the recommended Windows Disk tools for maintenance of Secure Digital (SD) Cards for use with the NI 9802?

Solution:
The Recommended Windows Disk tools for maintenance of Secure Digital (SD) cards for use with the NI 9802 is CHKDSK. CHKDSK (CHKDSK.exe) is a command-line tool that checks volumes for problems. If the /F switch is used (the syntax is CHKDSK driveletter: /F), the program will attempt to repair any volumes with problems.

CHKDSK can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors. To use CHKDSK, you must log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, and it must be run from a drive with appropriate rights.

Windows normally cannot lock the drive when CHKDSK /F is run from the same drive letter as assigned to the SD card in a reader. To use CHKDSK on an SD card type CHKDSK G: /F at the command promp, where G: represents the drive letter assigned to the SD Card by Windows.
