Disk Checker for Windows

User Reviews

• Not worth the time to download.

  Pros

  Really couldn't find any.

  Cons

  Only duplicates windows functions.

  Summary

  I am looking for a hard drive repair app because I have a drive that is going bad, and I would like to get it going long enough to create an image. It gives read errors, programs won't load properly, and the system will freeze during a copy. Ghost says there are sector errors which matches the symptoms. Windows 7 64 bit claims there's nothing wrong with the drive (scanning it using an external SATA hard drive case). So, I went looking for better utilities, and I downloaded Disk Checker. It says exactly what Windows says. In fact, it has all the exact same options and features that Windows has, which leads me to believe that it's just taking Windows pre-made apps and putting them in a new GUI. If this had of come up with at least one error, I would have thought differently, but again it takes about a minute to scan a 500GB hard drive and claims it's in perfect working order. Just don't waste your time, download something else.

• Good, but seems only like a shell of the Windows Chkdsk

  ElCone79March 25, 2011

  Pros

  Good Interface

  Cons

  Can't check OS Drive/Partition

  Summary

  It helps when checking something that is not the current OS Drive, but is basically the same as windows CHKDSK

• Mediocre

  Pros

  Semmed fairly quick.

  Cons

  The type face(text size) was too large for the window provided, consequently some portions of the program were not visible.

  Pros

  none. can't get it to work.

  Cons

  the program doesn't work on my system! After installing this on my pc and i know that this is the first time i installed it (my pc: 1.6GHz, 512 RAM, 60 gb h-disk, win-sp2), i tried to run the program and is says that my license has already expired! I haven't even seen the main program screen for even a millisecond and it tells me that my license is already expired?!?!!?! <p> <p>This is surely the most worthless thing i have dloaded off the net. Plainly a waste of time.

• Powerfull - even handles remote media

  herauthonSeptember 1, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  Handling remote media is not always supported by diskchecking software, due to accountmanagement and such. But this tool just starts enumerating maps and files and starts working - well, check it out for yourselfs

• It found errors but never fixed them

  April 25, 2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  I was hoping that the utility would mark the bad sectors it found, but did not do so. It only reported the errors that it found.
