SUMMARY
MS-DOS Help contains the following text about ScanDisk /AUTOFIX:
/AUTOFIX
Fixes damage without prompting you first. By default, if you start
ScanDisk with the /AUTOFIX switch and ScanDisk finds lost clusters on
your drive, it saves the lost clusters as files in the drive's root
directory. To have ScanDisk delete lost clusters rather than saving
them, include the /NOSAVE switch. (If you use the /AUTOFIX switch and
ScanDisk finds errors, it still prompts you for an Undo disk; to
prevent this, include the /NOSummary switch.) You cannot use the
/AUTOFIX switch in conjunction with the /CHECKONLY or /CUSTOM switches.
MORE INFORMATION
Using the syntax above, ScanDisk does not actually scan the hard disk drive
surface. To force ScanDisk to do so, use the /SURFACE switch in conjunction
with the /AUTOFIX switch.
