Drive Medic: Repair Hard Drive Problems

To access:

From the Individual Tools pane, click Repair Problems and then click Start next to Repair Hard Drive Problems.

What it does:

The Repair Hard Drive Problems wizard will search your hard drive for errors, and then any detected errors can be flagged for repair the next time you start or restart your computer (repairs are run prior to booting).

Why use it:

Damaged sectors on a drive can prevent files from being accessed or saved, and damaged drives frequently cause computer crashes and lock-ups. Severe drive damage can lead to a volatile computer that is practically unusable.

Running the Repair Hard Drive Problems wizard to check for drive errors can repair existing issues and maintain the drive health before serious problems occur.

Instructions:

The wizard has several screens to guide you through the process. Click a screen name below for more information:
