Just a comment for
general information for
FAT (probably NOT specifically suited to the OP).
PartedMagic (included in UBCD) includes dosfstools:
http://www.daniel-baumann.ch/software/dosfstools/ The Freedos resources include tools for
FAT, the older port of "fsck" and "chkdsk" (with the same name as the MS tool) :

In those cases where you don't have the MS tools:
To be clear, if you do NOT use
FAT ( but NTFS, in most current cases of Windows users), please find a better-suited tool (as suggested in a previous post) than those I just mentioned in this post.
