How To Fix CHKDSK Cannot Continue in Read Only Mode.

The “CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode” error is usually encountered by users after trying to run a CHKDSK command on the OS drive (C:/) or an external drive. This particular issue usually occurs due to a write protection, if the disk is read-only, or because the drive in question is currently being scanned in a similar manner by a different program.

What is CHKDSK?

CHKDSK is a command of Windows command line that is used to run the utility known as Check Disk. The main purpose of the Check Disk utility is to make sure that the computer’s files and the file system are in a logical order. In addition to this, it also checks the physical disk to see if it holds any damaged sectors. In the event that it finds any damaged sectors, the utility will automatically try to recover data from them (given that the right command is provided).
