What's with this fat fsck?

I'm trying to run fsck filesystem checker on a FAT32 filesystem and it isn't able to run. Is there something very wrong with my partition? Or do I need to use a different filesystem check of sorts?

    What error message do you get , when you say 'it isn't able to run' ? 

    if you do have dosfsck then that is what's needed.

    not all Linux/Unix releases have this though.

    FSCK is a

    system tool utility for checking the consistency of a file system in Unix and Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD.

    For a FAT32 system you need to use CHKDSK which is for a Windows environment.
