HDD tool for searching and repairing disk errors.
CheckDisk is a small but useful utility that can effectively search for and repair drive errors.
The main interface of the program is very plain and simple, offering you three options to scan and repair your disk. Standard, Thorough (including surface scan) and "check if dirty". All options take their time and after scanning have been completed, will notify you of the errors that have been found.
The program will find any bad sectors on the disk and at the moment, CheckDisk will also function well on removable media including USB flash drives.
All in all, quite a handy program to use to repair drive errors.

What version of Windows can CheckDisk run on?
CheckDisk can be used on a computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads.
