This utility is known as CHKDSK (or the Disk Error Checking utility, if you will). Microsoft was entirely aware of this, which is why there has existed a utility on the Windows Operating System for basically as long as the OS itself that is capable of not only scanning a hard disk for errors and corruptions but also repairing any corruptions it finds and salvaging any and all readable information from bad sectors on drives. That being the case, Windows users should always check their hard disk drives for errors every few days and fix any errors they find so as to preserve the health and functionality of the drives. This can not only be detrimental to a hard disk’s overall lifespan but can also slow it down in the short term, and no one likes a slow hard drive. Over time, a hard disk drive that is in use starts accumulating damage and errors caused by a wide array of different things (from unexpected system shutdowns to corrupted software and from bad sectors to metadata corruption).
