# Lab OS-2: Recovery and Disk Information
Domain:
- 1.0 Operating Systems
Works on:
- Windows
- Linux
Does not require:
- macOS
## Goal
Practice safe commands that help identify recovery status, file corruption, boot configuration, and disk layout.
## Windows Steps
Run:
```powershell
reagentc /info
sfc /scannow
bcdedit
```
Optional repair command:
```powershell
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
```
Record:
- Is Windows RE enabled?
- Did SFC find integrity violations?
- What boot loader description appears in `bcdedit`?
- Did DISM complete successfully, if you ran it?
Do not edit BCD settings in this lab.
## Linux Steps
Run:
```bash
lsblk
df -h
```
Record:
- Main disk name:
- Root filesystem:
- Root filesystem free space:
- Any mounted removable drives:
## What You Should Learn
- `reagentc /info` checks Windows Recovery Environment status.
- `sfc /scannow` checks and repairs protected Windows system files.
- `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth` repairs the Windows image/component store.
- `bcdedit` displays boot configuration.
- `lsblk` shows disks and partitions.
- `df -h` shows mounted filesystem usage.
