Repair and Recover
To use Disk Minder to report errors only, start Disk Minder, click Properties,
select the Report Errors Only check box and click OK. Then select the disks to
check, whether to scan the disk surface and click Start. Disk Minder checks the
disk and displays the Summary report.

Disk Minder Summary Report

The Summary report tells you how many errors were found on the scanned
drive. It also gives you complete information about the status of clusters (the
smallest storage units of information on a PC drive) on the drive.

Interactively Fixing Errors

Disk Minder defaults to informing you when it finds an error and letting you
interactively decide whether or not you want to fix the problem. When Disk
Minder finds a problem while checking a drive interactively, it displays a
message that asks you what to do to resolve it. The suggested response is
indicated by the default settings, including which button is the default (in the
illustration, the Fix button is the default, which means that pressing E
like clicking the Fix button).

McAfee Image

Although it happens rarely, data stored on a hard drive can become damaged
in several ways. An important step in preventing disaster is using McAfee
Image to make a "snapshot" of the most critical areas on your hard drives.
Since even a recent backup copy is still not as good as recovering your current
data, you'll want to try to recover the latest data first if anything goes wrong.
McAfee Image saves information that you'll need if your hard disk ever fails,
including the boot record, partition tables and FAT information. It's a good
idea to run McAfee Image daily, as well as whenever you've reorganized a
disk's files using a defragmenter. This ensures that you can use Image's
Restore option to restore the latest states of your files and folders (or
directories). Image stores its information in a file on your hard drive. This file
is stored using a special, patent-pending method that allows the file to be
recovered even if the hardware is severely damaged.
