Why use HDD Scan?

When your computer becomes unresponsive, it is detected that it is caused by a hard drive failure. At this time, a tool is needed to more accurately diagnose the failure of the hard disk; in most cases, the failure of the hard disk is not physical or fatal, and can be repaired using simple methods; in addition, hard disk repair and data recovery Engineers also need a tool to perform preliminary diagnosis and repair of failed hard drives - HDD Scan provides the functionality you need.

HDD Scan is based on ATA/SATA/SCSI specifications and uses interface commands to diagnose and repair hard drives. HDD Scan runs on the Win2K/Xp operating system and uses API to access the hard disk. If the interface and lower-level parts of the hard disk fail, HDD Scan will not be able to detect the hard disk, and may even cause the operating system to fail to start.
