Recovery Console CHKDSK

[Tecknomage]

OK, boot to WinXP Pro SP2 Install CD and use [R] for to load the Recovery
Console.

Run CHKDSK /R

During the run CHKDSK displays...
"CHKDSK is performing additional checking or recovery..."

What is meant by "recovery" in this case?

It probably means "recovering incorrectly linked clusters and
placing them into files" [which are totally useless for the vast
majority of users].
