Is this documented somewhere? I'm skeptical. I'm pretty certain I've 
repaired FAT32 disks with Windows 7's CHKDSK in the past, though it was 
quite a while ago.

But besides that, the OP was comparing CHKDSK to the old DOS Scandisk 
utility. Neither it or the DOS versions of CHKDSK could address NTFS 
file systems, so it's not a fair comparison.
