EFI System Partition Has Some Bad Sectors
Hello All,
First, I have to say I know just enough to be dangerous.
I recently had a Microsoft update go wrong causing me to restore my computer using a backup. Everything seems to be good, except that I can no longer perform backups. I get the message "File system error is found. Consider checking the disk using Check Disk Utility." I used chkdsk /f /r to check my OS disk C: (RAID0) and data disk D: and they are good. I then checked the hidden partitions on my C: drive and found that the EFI System Partition has "12,288 Bytes in bad sectors". I attempted to repair it with chkdsk /f /r. This did not work.
I think I have to repair this partition before I will be able to perform backups. Can I delete or copy the files in this partition, re-format (GPT Fat32), confirm good format with chkdsk, and recreate the files? If so, is there a step by step tutorial somewhere? Any other options? It boots up fine, so I have access to the command prompt.
Dell Alienware Area 51 with RAID 0 OS drive, Windows 10, UEFI, GPT
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated,
Joseph
