Sandra, a novice computer user, works on Windows environment. She experiences some problem regarding bad sectors formed in a hard disk of her computer. She wants to run CHKDSK command to check the hard disk for bad sectors and to fix the errors, if any, occurred. Which of the following switches will she use with CHKDSK command to accomplish the task?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. CHKDSK /R /F CHKDSK /R locates bad sectors on the hard disk and attempts to recover any readable information from them, and /F fixes file system errors detected during the scan - together they fulfill both requirements of finding bad sectors and repairing errors.

Answer

A. CHKDSK /I CHKDSK /I performs a less rigorous check of NTFS index entries by skipping certain comparisons for speed - it does not scan for bad sectors or repair disk errors.

Answer

B. CHKDSK /C /L CHKDSK /C skips cycle checking in the NTFS folder structure and /L adjusts the NTFS log file size - neither switch addresses bad sector detection or error correction.

Answer

C. CHKDSK /V /X CHKDSK /V displays the full path of every file processed on FAT volumes and /X forces a volume dismount before checking - these do not target bad sector identification or file system error repair.
