Using chkdsk with assigned drives and networks
The chkdsk command does not work on drives formed by the subst, join,
or assign command. You cannot use chkdsk to check a disk on a
network drive.
Physical disk errors
The chkdsk command finds only logical errors in the file system, not
physical disk errors.
Bad disk sectors
Bad sectors reported by chkdsk were marked as "bad" when your disk was
first prepared for operation. They pose no danger.
