Can chkdsk damage a hard drive?..

Answer / Hiteshwar Singh Tomar

chkdsk is designed to scan and repair file system errors, not to damage the hard drive. However, if there are numerous bad sectors or your drive's read/write speed is slow, running chkdsk may take longer than usual and could potentially put more strain on the drive. To avoid this, it's best to schedule chkdsk to run during off-peak hours or when you won't be using the computer.
