There is no FIX DISK command. There are FDISK, FORMAT, CHKDSK, and SCANDISK
depending on what you want to do.

No fdisk or scandisk in XP either.

fdisk
[[[Not currently supported. Use the diskpart command, which enables you to
manage disks, partitions, or volumes. ]]

scandisk
[[Not currently supported. Use the chkdsk command, which enables you to
create and display a status report for a disk based on the file system.
Chkdsk also lists and corrects errors on the disk. ]]
