Since SCANDISK DB verifies that every byte in the file system is accounted for, this process can be very time consuming. Therefore, you have the option of stopping the process by typing the following command:

[.] ABORT

ABORT can take up to 30 seconds to process.

After it is initiated, ABORT stops the SCANDISK process and reports the current status.

When the abort is successful, the following appears:
