Recover
Purpose:
Recovers a file or disk containing bad sectors.
Syntax:
recover [drive:]
or
recover drive\pathname]
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 pencilad that has a few bad sec
tors. To recover this file you would use the following command:
recover pencil.ad
