What tool should you use to verify that the hard disk on a Windows XP computer does not have any bad sectors?
1. ScanDisk
2. Fdisk
3. Defrag
4. >>Chkdsk
Explanation : You should use Chkdsk to check the integrity of a hard disk on a computer running Windows XP and optionally attempt to correct errors. You can launch Chkdsk from the command line or by clicking Check Now on the Tools tab of a hard disk's properties.
You cannot use ScanDisk to verify that the hard disk does not have any bad sectors on a computer running Windows XP. Scandisk was used on Windows 9x systems to verify hard disk integrity.
Defrag is used to defragment a hard disk to ensure that a file uses contiguous disk space. A defragmented hard disk performs better than a fragmented hard disk.
You cannot use Fdisk to check disk integrity. Fdisk was used in earlier versions of the Windows operating system and in MS-DOS to create partitions.
