Chkdsk (Chkdsk.exe) is a command-line tool that checks volumes for problems. The tool then tries to repair any that it finds. For example, Chkdsk can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors.

chkdsk /r Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. chkdsk /f Fixes errors on the disk. The disk must be locked.

How do you reair currapt harddisk?

Well, you can try running chkdsk, a DOS program included on all versions of Windows. Open up a command prompt window, called cmd.exe. Type that in a run box, and a black-and-white window will open. There will be text that says C:\Users\you> or something like that, if on a Vista computer, or C:\Documents and settings\you> if on XP. Type: chkdsk /f This starts the chkdsk program, and the /f is a switch meaning to fix any errors. If that doesn't work, then it might not be easy to fix. You could try looking for data recovery software using a search engine such as Google or Yahoo. But I don't know how well any of these steps will work.
