This freeware application appears to thoroughly scan your system's drives for errors, but the results are less than impressive. Emsa DiskCheck's straightforward interface has pull-down menus for selecting disk and drive types. You can easily check or uncheck the two options to perform a pre-scan and clear the cache before the process begins, and a simple click of the Check button starts the scan. A small window provides scan details and results as they occur, and you can view other information such as elapsed time and estimated time remaining in the Statistics section. Though this information is useful, the actual scan results aren't as beneficial. A few problems stem from the program's design: its window can't be resized, and the scroll bar for viewing scan results only moves up and down, so the complete path of files containing errors isn't always visible. You can't copy the results and no reporting tools are offered to view or save the information. Though Emsa DiskCheck can let you know the number of errors it finds on your drives, its limited information probably won't help you find or fix them.

  "Double checks for CD/DVD errors!"

  by Herbert Talabis on July 18, 2006

  Pros: You'd probably encountered a DVD/CD burned but after accessing it afterwards the DVD/CD has 1 or more errors. This simple program checks your whole DVD/CD for any errors that may encounter so you won't worry that one or more files might be unreadable. A must have for those who burn frequently.

  Cons: Windows 95 GUI menu

  "great simple disk checker and benchmark"

  by doom_machine on July 4, 2005

  Pros: doesnt require an install.

  useful accurate benchmarking for harddrive rather than theoreticle.

  onscreen log letting you know whats goin on.

  check scratched cd's to make sure all data is readable.

  Cons: doesnt fix any errors.

  i dont think it finds bad sectors.

  kinda slow.

  "It's OK."

  by brn1981 on January 24, 2006

  Pros: Its quick?

  Cons: The window doesn't maximize. I recieved one error on a disk I checked. It listed the path of the error, but the location was too long to see the whole path.

  F:\Documents and Settings\Application Da.... is all I can see. Big help. :\

  "Handy rental DVD checker"

  by realj42 on July 29, 2008

  Pros: One great use for this software - checking those rental DVDs you get in the post (or from the store) before you watch them and then they fail half way through - if that's ever happenned to you you'll value this software.

  Cons: A bit primitive - but hey it's free.
