There are certain items chkdsk can't do while the drive is mounted, or
in-use, by the OS. It schedules these tasks to be done when the drive
is restarted and the OS isn't yet in full control of the drive.
As for the second question, it is up to you if want to see the errors
before they are corrected. Unless you are pretty computer savy, the
errors won't mean a whole lot to you anyway.
