What command repairs the file system and recovers data from bad sectors?

chkdsk /r Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. chkdsk /f Fixes errors on the disk. The disk must be locked. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive, a message appears that asks you if you want to check the drive the next time you restart the computer. chkdsk /p Performs an exhaustive check even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter does not make any changes to the drive.

What form of the chkdsk command can you use in a command prompt windows that does not require a restart to run?

You can use the chkdsk command with the /f or /r switch in a command prompt window to check and fix errors on a disk without requiring a restart, as long as the drive is not the system drive. For example, you can run chkdsk D: /f to check and fix errors on the D: drive. However, if you attempt to run it on the system drive (usually C:), you will be prompted to schedule the check for the next system restart.
