Which utility reports the status of FAT32 hard drives?

The utility that reports the status of FAT32 hard drives is SCANDISK. SCANDISK is specifically designed to check the integrity of a file system on a disk and to identify and fix any issues that may occur. It analyzes the disk for any errors, providing a detailed report on the health of the file system, which includes FAT32 partitions. By using SCANDISK, users can detect problems such as lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors, which are common in FAT32 file systems.

On the other hand, DISK MANAGEMENT provides information about all disks connected to the computer, allowing users to manage partitions and volumes, but it does not specifically diagnose or report on the status of the FAT32 file system itself in detail. DISKPART is a command-line utility that allows users to manage disks and partitions but again lacks the detailed error-checking functionality of SCANDISK. SETTINGS is a broader control panel for system configurations and does not focus on hard drive status specifically, making it unsuitable for this task.
