  Suggestion for Microsoft
  You can't schedule an error check with chkdsk with multiple drives.

If you have multiple NTFS hard drives on a system that you want to check for
errors you have to schedule a check for one, restart the PC, allow the drive
to be checked then schedule a check for the next one restart the PC again etc.

You shouldn’t have to restart your computer for every drive you want to
check, you should be able to schedule a check for multiple drives so all
drives are scanned on restart.

Also you should be able to run a scheduled scan for external USB hard drives.

Upgrade this feature.
