FDISK is a disk partitioning utility that creates and manages disk partitions. Low-level formatting is done by utilities like DEBUG. Bad sector repair is done by SCANDISK. Recovering lost clusters uses CHKDSK.
AI explanation
FDISK is the classic DOS/Windows utility used to create, delete, and manage disk partitions before a drive can be formatted. It does not perform low-level formatting, fix bad sectors, or recover lost clusters — those are jobs for other utilities like a low-level format tool, scandisk, or chkdsk.
