DESCRIPTION

The Repair-Volume cmdlet performs repairs on a volume. The following repair actions are available:

OfflineScanAndFix: Takes the volume offline to scan the volume and fix any errors found (equivalent to chkdsk /f).

Scan: Scans the volume without attempting to repair it; all detected corruptions are added to the $corrupt system file (equivalent to chkdsk /scan).

SpotFix: Takes the volume briefly offline and then fixes only issues that are logged in the $corrupt file (equivalent to chkdsk /spotfix).

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>Repair-Volume -DriveLetter H -Scan

This example scans drive H and reports errors only.

EXAMPLE 2

PS C:\>Repair-Volume -DriveLetter H -OfflineScanAndFix

This example takes drive H offline, and fixes all issues.

EXAMPLE 3

PS C:\>Repair-Volume -DriveLetter H -SpotFix

This example uses the spot verifier functionality to quickly fix drive H.
