How can I check all the errors on my hard drive?

I was awarded errors on my laptop which is running windows 7 that I might have an idea how to do to check and correct these errors. Thank you

Hi Grandpa

Thanks for your posting in Microsoft Community

You can help solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your computer by making sure that your hard disk has no errors.

  1. Open the computer by clicking on the button start , and then clicking computer.

  2. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

  3. Click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  4. Click Start.

Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

    You can (and should) get the free mp3tag: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

    Install mp3tag.  When you install, let it be added to the context menus (an option during installation).

    Open mp3tag and in tools, Options, Tags, Mpeg do option Write ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. Those are tags favorite rocket, and once make you it by default, whenever you save tags in mp3tag you will get tags Fuze and respectful.

    Your albums may not be labeled at all, or may be marked in ID3v1, who will not read the "rocket". So he goes to the title, if there is a title tag or file name if there are no tags.

    You can now right click on an album folder and see mp3tag as an option to open it. When you click mp3tag, you'll see the files listed. Put them in order from top to bottom - you can try clicking on the header of the track-number or the name of the header file if they are 01-Track 1. If you can align them up and down, highlight all the and click Dial automatic tools Wizard with the option of leading zeros. Bingo: Track numbers 01, 02, 03, and they will play in the order.

    Sometimes people put numbers to track on the file names and they list in alphabetical order by song title - not good. If the "rocket" Impossible to find track numbers and the name of the file is FirstSongTitle-01 (rather than 01-FirstSongTitle), the "rocket" will play them in alphabetical order by name of file: FirstSong, FifthSong, FourthSong, SecondSong, SixthSong, ThirdSong. Then you will have to put in one of the track numbers.

    Hello

    Usually, this should be stated on the label which is placed on the HARD drive.
    You can also use a 3rd-party hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home Edition or Sandra Tool which analyzes material for portable computers and provide details about the unique pieces.

  • How can I find out the specifications of my hard drive?

    I have a Latitude D620 (great computer!) but the HARD part is a bit small (60 GB) drive. I found the product reference number and found the player on the site Web of Hitachi (the manufacturer), but it has 2 options for the interface, ATA-6 SATA 1.5 GB/s. I would like to get a new drive (and an envelope for the old man, so I can use it as an external), anyone able to tell me what interface do I need? I have found a cheap Hitachi drive with the SATA connection, but do not want to order if it could not work.

  • How can I view all the elements of an array?

    Hello

    I'm learning about the handling of tables.  The example finder includes this one, 'build array_forum.vi', which shows the two modes, concatenate and adding, I understand, HOWEVER, I can't understand how they built this vi.  For example, I can find the Array function to build, but I do not understand how they created the "digital data table 1" "data table 2" digital... etc, and I can't find the functions on the pallets that cause display "build the CONCATENATE entries table". ".  Where are these blue functions?

    Where these functions are found in the palette, and how we build them like that?

    The other vi indicated here, 'for loop array_forum.vi' is my attempt to reproduce, but it doesn't show all the elements of the array; However, it only displays a SINGLE element, the last element of the array.  How can I view all the items in the table I am creating using the FOR LOOP?
