Windows 10: How to run chkdsk to repair the hard disk

Recently one of my friends asked me about doing a disk scan because their hard disk has reduced functionality and I am asking this on behalf of him.

Hi,

I suggest that you run the check disk. Follow the steps:

• Select Command Prompt.
• Type chkdsk /r (note: there is a space after chkdsk)
• Restart the computer and allow the check disk to run.

Important: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost

Hello,



Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I would suggest you to run check disk. It will check the hard drive for errors and bad sectors.



Note: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost.

If the issue persists, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows + X while you are at the desktop screen.
• Click on command prompt (admin).
• Type the following command and hit enter.

chkdsk /f /r

Note: If this asks you to run on restart, type y and hit enter and close the command prompt.

Restart the computer and check if it works.

Hope the information helps.
