The Chkdsk.exe tool cannot detect bad clusters or bad sectors on a Windows Server 2003-based computer when the size of a compressed file is larger than 4 gigabytes (GB)
When you scan a volume on a Windows Server 2003-based computer by using the chkdsk /r command, you receive a status message that resembles the following:
CHKDSK is verifying file data (stage 4 of 5)...
0 percent completed.
1 percent completed.
2 percent completed.
3 percent completed.
Windows replaced bad clusters in file <number>
of name <file name>.
100 percent completed.
File data verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying free space (stage 5 of 5)...
This status message incorrectly indicates that Windows replaced bad clusters. This status message can occur if the following conditions are true:
- The current volume has a compressed file.
- The size of the compressed file is larger than 4 gigabytes (GB).
