chkdsk, does it check empty sectors ?
Does ChkDsk check empty sectors?
I have run ChkDsk to "check only" a brand new (unused) 2TB HDD.
The scan was all over within <5 seconds.
Does ChkDsk only check occupied sectors ... files/folders ... or does it check all sectors ?
Thank you :)Code:C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk D: The type of the file system is NTFS. Volume label is Seagate Expansion Drive. WARNING! F parameter not specified. Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.
