ShadowMaster | Nov 21, 2009 | Comments 0
Windows Surface Scanner is a free tool you can use to find and detect bad sectors on your hard drives.
The software will read each sector of a physical drive that is currently mounted on an XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating system. Each sector is examined for a read error. If a read error occurs the error counter will increment.
Usage:
- Press the ‘Mount’ button. That will query your system for all physical
Drives currently mounted. - Use the check boxes to the left of the drive to indicate which drive
you wish to have the software scan. - Press the ‘Scan’ button. This will start the surface scan of the
currently selected drive. As the scan progresses the progress bar will move
forward and a percent indicator above the progress bar will be incremented.
