How to check Hard Disk bad sectors.
Start/Run AOMEI Partition Assistant standard version.
Right click on Disk1 (In which disk you want to perform health check), or right click on the partitions(C/D/E etc.).
Right click on the Disk 1 or Disk x, select surface test. If you are right click on the partitions, select Advanced then check partition. Click on the start and wait to finish. While it running, you can see Red and Green Square boxes, red means bad sector and green mean disk is Ok. There is option for fix problem, but bad sectors are not fixable, you need to change your hard disk. Small number of bad sectors are negligible, we can use same Hard disk for years, but large number will cause file corruptions, computer can’t read data/file from corrupted areas/ bad sector area.
Once you run this software, you can see many features, they are limited, but professional edition has unlimited features. So we advise to buy professional version. This software very mush useful for Office and Enterprise fields, this tool can use to check hard disk frequently and fix problems.
