What utility provides a status report for NTFS hard drives?

The utility that provides a status report for NTFS hard drives is CHKDSK. This command-line tool is specifically designed to check the integrity of the file system on the disk and to report on the status of the NTFS file system, including identifying logical file system errors, checking for bad sectors, and ensuring that the disk is operating correctly. It can also be used to repair issues that it detects.

In contrast, SCANDISK is an older utility that was primarily used for FAT file systems and doesn't provide the same level of detail or functionality for NTFS drives. DISK CLEANUP is focused on freeing up space by removing unnecessary files, without providing any status or health report on the drive. FILE HISTORY is a backup service that saves copies of files but does not assess or report on the status of the hard drive itself. Thus, CHKDSK is the correct choice for evaluating the status of NTFS hard drives.
