Recover
Purpose:
Recovers a file or disk containing bad sectors.
Syntax:
recover [drive: I
or
recover drive:[pathname I
Comments:
If the chkdsk command shows that a sector on your disk is bad,
you
can use the recover command to recover the entire disk or
just the file containing the bad sector.
This action causes
MS· DOS to read the file sector by sector and to
skip the bad sectors. When MS-DOS finds a bad sector, it marks the
sector so that it no longer allocates your data to that sector.
Examples:
To -recover a disk in drive A you would use the following
command:
recover a:
Suppose you have a file named pencil ad that has a few bad sec-
tors.
To recover this file you would use the following command:
recover pencil.ad
