[<CommonParameters>]The Repair-Volume cmdlet performs repairs on a volume. The following repair actions are available:
OfflineScanAndFix: Takes the volume offline to scan the volume and fix any errors found (equivalent to chkdsk /f).
Scan: Scans the volume without attempting to repair it; all detected corruptions are added to the $corrupt system file (equivalent to chkdsk /scan).
SpotFix: Takes the volume briefly offline and then fixes only issues that are logged in the $corrupt file (equivalent to chkdsk /spotfix).
PS C:\>Repair-Volume -DriveLetter H -ScanThis example scans the volume H: and reports errors only. It uses the -DriveLetter switch to designate the volume by its drive letter and -Scan to indicate the scanning action.
PS C:\>Repair-Volume -DriveLetter GHI -SpotFixThis example uses the spot verifier functionality to quickly fix volumes designation G:, H: and I:. It uses the -DriveLetter switch to designate multiple volumes by their drive letters and SpotFix to indicate the quick fixing action.

PS C:\> Repair-Volume -FileSystemLabel "System Reserved" -OfflineScanAndFixThis example takes the System Reserved volume offline, and fixes all issues. This volume has no drive letters assigned to it. The first command, Get-Volume gives an overview of the volumes on the local computer. As the output indicates, the volume bearing the "System Reserved" label has no drive letters. Next, the Repair-Volume cmdlet uses the -FileSystemLabel switch to designate the "System Reserved" volume and the -OfflineScanAndFix switch indicates the volume should be taken offline and scanned in full.
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
