chkdsk read error and bad sectors found on chkdsk however report displayed: Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems. No further action is required.

Question

_{Thursday, March 14, 2019 8:46 AM}

On a drive multiple tests were ran in addition to chkdsk /r.

The error or surface scans displayed errors.

The chkdsk /r report displayed:

Stage 4: Looking for bad clusters in user file data ...
              Read failure with status 0xc0000483 at offset 0x5573901000 for 0x10000 bytes.
              A disk read error occurredc0000483
              The disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters

              
              Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
              No further action is required.

For a chkdsk /r

a) What determines whether it does or not display that it found no problems?

"Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems."

b) How come the read error was not displayed in the conclusion as a problem?

c) How come the bad clusters were not displayed in the conclusion as a problem?

d) When determining the amount of free space needed to replace bad clusters what comparisons are made by the chkdsk tool?

Hi,

Checks the file system and file system metadata of a volume for logical and physical errors. If used without parameters, chkdsk displays only the status of the volume and does not fix any errors. If used with the /f, /r, /x, or /bparameters, it fixes errors on the volume.

The parameters are well known.

The thread is to learn about the chkdsk report where it displayed these at the same time:

Read failure 

A disk read errorThe disk does not have enough space to replace bad clustersand at the same time displayed:              Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
              No further action is required.The findings of the errors and bad clusters are inconsistent with found no problems with no further action is required.

Information and help are needed to understand the chkdsk displayed results:

Stage 4: Looking for bad clusters in user file data ...
              Read failure with status 0xc0000483 at offset 0x5573901000 for 0x10000 bytes.
              A disk read error occurredc0000483
              The disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters

              
              Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
              No further action is required...

How come the chkdsk report displayed: 

              Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
              No further action is required.

when it had reported problems in stage 4:

              Read failure with status 0xc0000483 at offset 0x5573901000 for 0x10000 bytes.
              A disk read error occurredc0000483
              The disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters
