    Description

      When chkdsk is run on a disk with corruption, sometimes it returns with an error code.
      When this happens a message just shows as follows:
      "Chkdsk was unable to complete successfully."
      It would be good to display the actual error code.
      Also, if the error is STATUS_DISK_CORRUPT_ERROR running 'chkdsk' again might fix this.
      Telling the user that this is possible would be good.

      I have created a patch to implement these improvements: chkdsk-error-return-07.patch .

      Here is an example with these patches:
