What is the chkdsk switch for fixing errors?

  1. Chkdsk /r

  2. Chkdsk /f

  3. Chkdsk /v

  4. Chkdsk /x

The correct answer is: Chkdsk /f

The chkdsk switch for fixing errors is /f, not to be confused with /r which only locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. /v is used for verbose mode, providing a detailed report of disk error checking, and /x is used for fixing errors on the system drive. Since the question specifically asks for the switch for fixing errors, /f is the most appropriate choice. It should be noted that /f can also be used in conjunction with /r for a more thorough disk check and error correction.
