Disk Check

Hi Brink and mjf,

I just ran WinDlg on my drive and it shows error code=07 failed read test element, failure 97 and based on WinDlg manual, it said read element failure and I have to RMA the HD. Fortunately it's still under warranty until 09/08/2014 so I guess, I will RMA it and get replacement from WD. Thank you so much for all the help.

Hello this is the first post for me ever.
I get something wrong here when I start this process, It was taking a lot of time and I cancelled it. That processing was on E.
Then E doesn't want me to get in him. loooool.
Please what should I do please?

I don't understand why, given after a crash Windows will give you the option to "Start Windows normally", that it doesn't also have some built-in way to prompt the user to do a Disk Check. I often end-up forgetting about the abnormal shutdown of Windows and the possible disk corruption that may have resulted.

Does anyone here know of a method or utility that will enable me on bootup to select a Disk Check without having to go all-the-way in Windows and set-it-up manually and reboot yet again?

Hmmm what's the easiest way to "open cmd.exe at boot". I know there's a Repair thingie somewhere (maybe F8?) but now you have me thinking an EasyBCD menu item. Thanks for yr reply!
