Why each option
CHKDSK is the Windows 7 utility for checking disk integrity, and when the drive is in use, it automatically schedules the scan to run on the next system boot.
When CHKDSK is run with the /F or /R flag on the system drive in Windows 7, it cannot lock the volume while Windows is running and instead prompts the user to schedule it for the next boot. The scan then executes automatically during the early boot phase before Windows fully loads. This is the built-in mechanism for scheduling a disk integrity scan.
ROBOCOPY is a robust file and directory replication utility; it has no disk integrity or scanning functionality.
SCANDISK was a legacy tool from the MS-DOS and Windows 9x era and is not available in Windows 7 or any Windows NT-based system.
FDISK is a legacy partitioning tool from DOS/Windows 9x; it is replaced by DISKPART in Windows 7 and cannot scan disk integrity.
