Check Hard Disk for Errors, Health and Bad Sectors Sometimes we need to check our hard drives health and status, If you find you're SSD or Hard Drive has errors, you can sometimes solve these computer problems with your drive by checking for errors with the built in windows tool with commands like chkdsk, chkdsk /f and chkdsk /f /r. You can also check your computer's hard disk with HD Tune Pro, I will show you the great feature this utility has to offer. Whether you want to get a temperature for that drive, Check Health (S.M.A.R.T) and temperature for external drives, check for bad sectors or fix and repair common errors with that drive. You can do all this and a lot more with HD Tune Pro. http://www.hdtune.com/ If you need help with computer problems, please go to my forum http://www.briteccomputers.co.uk/forum

  1. Thanks bro (Y)
  2. my PC is ticking with small freeze and 100℅ disk in task manager , is it dying??
  3. You can use the build in tool in Windows, or Linux with similar name to check hard drive for errors.
  4. Thanks for these helpful videos Britec! Cheers! :)
  5. My external hard drive shows 0.5% red dots damaged sector how to recover or get rid of them.
  6. so how do you run the smart test on this program, you said you can but did not show
  7. please tell me is there anything to worry about
    airflow temperature 62 failed in health
    current pending sector 100 warning
  8. sir @britec09 just wanna know how to fix bad sectors for external and internal HD thx
  9. Hi Britec09, is it possible for windows checkdisk to report bad sectors on a drive but this tool to do a full scan and find none? Admittedly I'm only 632GB into a 2tb hdd scan but everything is green so far.

    If it does end up reporting bad sectors can you recommend software to rectify this? I believe it just informs windows to ignore those sectors is this correct? Also the drive still has 5 months left of warranty, so what sort of result from this full scan should I consider an RMA through Western Digital? Any bad sectors at all or like 5% upwards etc.?

    Thank you for your time.
  10. nice and clean video , i subscribed thank you so much
  11. Nice!   Thanx  Brian,
  12. I didnt do this (i later did) But my hard drive makes like weird noises if i create a file like a crack or something is my hard drive broken?
  13. I just checked my hard drive and it has no bad sectors,but HD Tune says that it is running too hot 55 degrees Celsius and then my hard drive makes a horrible clicking sound right before my laptop shuts down
  14. You can also use SpeedFan to see the S.M.A.R.T of a HDD. I don't think it is as powerful as hdtune, but it is free
  15. Good information
  16. Yeah.. Like the HDTune.
  17. great video thanks
  18. Brian , in your video description you actually made a grammatical error in the beginning you wrote you're ssd instead of your. You're translates to you are if the apostrophe is removed ,meanwhile your translates to something you have. Please correct it ,it could make a big difference ;)
