drive with an Undo file you want to use. Then click OK.

Using Disk Minder in DOS

Disk Minder lets you repair disks even if you cannot start Windows.
To use Disk Minder in DOS:
1. Do one of the following at the DOS prompt, and press E
2. Press the T
Check for Duplicate File Names–checks for duplicate file names—files
with the same name in the same directory.
Test Drive Surface–performs read/write tests of a disk's recordable
surface media. If a sector is damaged, Disk Minder saves the data
elsewhere so you can try to recover it later. Disk Minder maps out the
bad sector so it won't be used in the future.
Surface Scan Repetitions–becomes active if you select the Test Drive
Surface check box. Enter a number between 1 and 10, for the number of
times you want to perform a complete read/write test on the drive's
surface. If you decide to run several repetitions, you may also want to
use the Auto Fix Errors option and let Disk Minder perform the tests
while you are away from your PC.
NOTE: There is also a Read/Write/Read/Compare Surface Scan
available. This is a more in-depth diagnostic test and can often find
damaged sectors (or sectors that are likely to fail) where the normal
surface scan cannot.
