chkdsk — as it will determine the SMART error code.

==================
ANSWER AND REASON
==================
B. chkdsk

You may find that your system reports that a S.M.A.R.T. error has occurred on the hard drive. S.M.A.R.T. errors are a near-term prediction of drive failure. It is important to realize that the drive may appear to be functioning normally. Even some diagnostic tests could still have a PASS status. A S.M.A.R.T. error is a prediction that the diagnostic test will soon fail.

Admins have options for what switches to run with CHKDSK. For example, using /f tells CHKDSK to fix any errors it finds. Using /r tells CHKDSK to look for and recover any readable information in a disk’s bad sectors. 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 /b parameters, it fixes errors on the volume.
