Disk Doctor, Utility ?

[Toppack]

Has Any one Used the 'Disk-doctor' utility, in ASC, to Fix hard-drive errors?

It's my understanding that when Disk-doctor starts finding errors then the drive is Failing and may Quit operating soon?

Since I don't have any Bad drives presently connected, I have never seen Disk-doctor find or fix errors, so have not been able to test wheather it Works or Not.

I'm Curious if anyone else has and with what Results?

Hi Toppack

Yeah, I have.

The disk doctor is very very similar to chkdsk /f

It takes a little while to finish - like chkdsk-, and once finished it will usually say "No Errors", but if you then click the button "Details" you will get a report of the checking of the disk (what errors it has fixed and so on), which you will be able to save if you should be so inclined.

You will get almost the same report if you run a chkdsk /f and then find that report in your administrative tools.

I use XP sp3

Okay Great!

I was Hopeing that's what it was.

Chkdsk can be such a bother to run, since it's a DOS program, and if we can still get into Windows OS it sounds like Disk-doctor would be the best to try First, to fix drive errors. :grin:

But that's what I Do Not understand?

When I click 'Show Details' all I get is a Blank 'details' window with No details or data? :?:

(I just tried it again with same results)

Why does it not have similar Info as gorin002's data report?

Or does it Only generate a Report when and if it finds errors? (mine always says 'no errors found' on disk-check page)

Okay I've determined that 'Disk Doctor' in ASC-4 is NOT Working Properly! :!:

 

When I ran the 'Disk Check' utility in the standalone Toolbox V1.1 package, I got the Full Details data.

Disk-doctor and Disk-check are supposed to be similar and do the Same thing.

But Disk-doctor is not returning any report data when Disk-check will. :sad:

 

It must have Lost something when Toolbox package was added to ASC-4 package?

 

I get the same Failure when directly running the Sur12_DiskDoctor.exe file, so problem is in that .exe program.

I tried the Sup_DiskDoctor.exe program in ASC-3 and it Works great, so problem is only with ASC-4 version.

 

 

Note- I also noticed that the ASC-4 version does not list my Memory-module-drives but the ASC-3 & ToolboxV1.1 versions Do.

Disk-doctor in ASC-4 Only list Hard-drives and their partitions.

So that is another major difference, but I doubt anyone would ever want to run Disk-doctor to test a Memory-module?

(We use Memory-modules in our digital-cameras and to transfer pictures to computers)

[Toppack]

Anyone else seeing this Failure of Disk-doctor Details Report, in ASC V4 beta1.5 ?

 

I made a shortcut to the ASC-3 beta version (Sup_DiskDoctor.exe), to use now, until I find out what is wrong with the ASC-4 version.

Hi Toppack,

 

Have you tried Disk Check (Sur12_DiskDoctor.exe) utility in the NEW IObit Toolbox 1.2 available for download in IObit Toolbox 1.2 is released. thread?

 

Perhaps, IObit is going to use it in future releases of ASC4.

 

Cheers.

[Toppack]

I downloaded and tried Toolbox 1.2.

And the Details Report works great in that version also.

So, it's only the ASC-4 version that does Not work properly.

 

Note - The Memory-module-drives are removed in Toolbox V1.2 also

 

Perhaps, IObit is going to use it in future releases of ASC4.

 

Assuming they Know about the problem in ASC-4 ???

[Toppack]

I think I'll just go ahead and replace the Sur12_DiskDoctor.exe file in ASC-4 with the one in Toolbox 1.2 and see if that corrects everything.

[Toppack]

Yes that worked, :grin: don't know why I did not think of that long time ago! :oops:

 

All the Pain from my Broken Ancle, may have something to do with it. :lol:
