Quick disk check6/12/2023 Ideally, when the Overview page of Hard Disk Sentinel shows a new problem (for example one or more new weak sectors appear on the drive) this test can quickly determine the actual location and specifically test, diagnose and repair them - without performing a complete scan of the disk surface (as the Disk Repair test would do). The Quick Fix test first determines which areas of the disk drive should be tested at all: which sectors could be damaged and may require repairing. File(s) on the affected repaired sectors are listed when the test completed. Possible damaged files will be readable, however file fragment(s) on damaged sectors may be corrupted. The test can be used on both system and secondary drives and it is safe for stored data. Unlike a complete scan, this test may not able to find and correct all possible problems, so best used on disk drives with relatively low number of problems and high Health value reported to repair weak sector(s) without the need of complete backup (and use of the Reinitialize disk surface test). The test forces the disk drive to repair any problematic (pending, weak) sectors: restore the status to good or reallocate (replace from spare area) if required to prevent further use of the original sector. ![]() Verify which area(s) of the disk drive reported problems and written recently then diagnose, repair specifically those (and nearby) sectors and critical system areas. ![]() The purpose of the Quick Fix test is to (as described in the software when the appropriate test function selected): Hard Disk Sentinel Professional 6.00 version introduced a new test: Disk menu Surface test -> Quick Fix.
