How to Fix Corrupted Hard Drive Using CMD in Windows 10/8/7?

Geeks - If your hard drive is corrupted, you may be able to fix it using the Command Prompt in Windows. To do this, follow these steps:

Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, press the Windows key + X to open the Power User menu, and then select "Command Prompt (Admin)" from the list.

In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:

Copy code

chkdsk /f [drive letter]:

Replace [drive letter] with the letter of the drive that you want to scan, such as C for the C drive. For example, if you want to scan the C drive, you would type chkdsk /f C: and press Enter.

If the drive is not in use, the Command Prompt will automatically begin scanning the drive for errors and attempt to fix them. If the drive is in use, you will be prompted to schedule a scan the next time you restart your computer.

Once the scan is complete, you can restart your computer and see if the corrupted hard drive has been fixed.

Keep in mind that this process may not fix all corrupted hard drives, and it is always a good idea to back up your important data before attempting to fix a corrupted drive. If the above steps do not work, you may need to try other methods to fix the corrupted hard drive, or you may need to replace it altogether.
