The scandisk utility does not begin to run during the power-on-self-test (POST). POST is a process performed by the firmware or software routines immediately after a computer or other digital electronic device is powered on. This process checks the hardware components like video card, BIOS, and memory chips to ensure they are working properly. Scandisk, however, is a utility that checks and repairs file systems and bad disk sectors, which is run from within the operating system rather than at the hardware level during POST.
