How to use Scandisk on Windows 10?

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the steps below to run Scandisk.

• Press Windows key + E on your keyboard to open File Explorer.
• In the File Explorer window, click on This PC in the left navigation pane.
• A list of drives is displayed on the right side of the window. Right-click on the drive you want to run Scandisk on and select
  Properties.
• In the Properties window, click on the Tools tab.
• Click the Check button in the Error Checking section.
• The computer needs to restart to run Scandisk without any interruptions.

Hope this information helps. Feel free to post your query for further assistance.

Regards,

Guru Kiran

 

ScanDisk not finishing from Windows environment.

I'm looking at Computer Management and 3 partitions on my 2nd hard drive have not been unlocked yet at hour 30 of the ScanDisk. They are a 499 MB Recovery Partition (Healthy), a 100 MB EFI System Partition (Healthy), and an 855 MB Recovery Partition (Healthy).
All 3 are listed with 100% Free Space, so if there was anything there, it's either inaccessible (locked during ScanDisk), or wiped (meaning I'll have to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch).
