Disk Checker 3.3

Disk Checker 3.3 offers you a full-featured disk diagnostics and repairs tool with backup ability. This program runs under Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista.

Disk Checker includes two separate methods of disk checking: using file-access or direct access to disk surface. The direct access method is much faster and is perfect for large number of small files. Disk Checker can report defective sectors numbers as well as the file name they belong to. Removable (floppy, ZIP, ORB, JAZZ, etc), hard and CD-ROM disks are supported when using direct access method (you must have administrator rights to perform hard drive checking under Windows NT/2000/XP). For above cases as well as for remote disks, RAM disks and network drives you can also use the file-access method.

In file method you can check network folder by using uniform naming convention (UNC). For example, you can include something like the following: COMPUTER2PUBLIC. You can select network folder with Browse button.

You must have administrator rights for checking hard disk under Windows NT / 2000 / XP. Screenshot of Disk Checker. Checking disk A: with direct method.

Then please see other screenshot here (checking Public folder on FISHER computer with file method).
