Logical corruption (like file system errors or a corrupt master file table) can be repaired using formatting or command-line tools like CHKDSK. However, if the corruption is caused by physical hardware failure (bad sectors or mechanical noise), the drive should be replaced after immediate data recovery.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I repair a corrupt file?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"To repair individual corrupt files, you can use the System File Checker (sfc \/scannow) for Windows system files.
