How to confirm whether your hard disk or file system is perfect?

Note: If Chkdsk reports that the hard drive cannot be accessed, your hardware may be faulty. Check all cable connections and jumper settings on the drive. Contact a computer repair professional or computer manufacturer for more help.

If Chkdsk reports that it is unable to fix all hard disk problems, your file system or MBR may be corrupted or no longer accessible. Try using the appropriate "Recovery Console" command (for example, Fixmbr and Fixboot), contact the data recovery service, or repartition and reformat the hard drive.

The full name of chkdsk is checkdisk, which means the meaning of disk check. This thing is called by the system to check the disk when your system is down or illegally shut down. You can also manually check a disk partition by calling the command line. The tool creates and displays a status report for the disk based on the file system used by the partition being detected.

Warning: If you repartition and reformat your hard drive, you will lose all information on your hard drive.

IMPORTANT: For further assistance, please contact your computer manufacturer or a Microsoft Product Support Services professional. Only qualified personnel should attempt to repair the computer. If a computer repair is performed by a non-professional, it may void the computer's warranty.
