CHKNTFS /C volume [...]

volume
Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name.
/D
Restores the machine to the default behavior; all drives are checked at boot time and chkdsk is run on those that are dirty.
/T:time
Changes the AUTOCHK initiation countdown time to the specified amount of time in seconds. If time is not specified, displays the current setting.
/X
Excludes a drive from the default boot-time check. Excluded drives are not accumulated between command invocations.
/C

If no switches are specified, CHKNTFS will display if the specified drive is dirty or scheduled to be checked on next reboot.
