Need ot run chkdsk, Vista says I need elevated mode

I'm having problems with an external HDD and I want to run chkdsk. I invoke
the DOS prompt with chkdsk L:\ and it says that I can't and that I don't have
sufficient priviledges ane I need to be in elevated mode. I am
"Administrator". How do I run this utility??

Right click command prompt and click run as administrator.

You're replying to a THREE YEAR OLD post.
Oh. Forgive me. I see you're another techarena moron who can't read,
doesn't realize he/she/it is posting to a Usenet newsgroup, and has no idea
how to start a new thread.
MORON!
