What will be an ideal response?


Self-healing disks is a new feature to NTFS introduced in Windows Server 2008. Self-healing means that when software in Windows Server 2008 runs into a damaged disk area, NTFS can heal the area without having to take down the server. NTFS self-heals by generating a "worker thread" that repairs data from the damaged area. The data is not available to the software until the worker thread completes its work. The next time the software wants to access that data, it is available for use.
