It only encompasses a few buttons and a pane in which to display the detected partitions. All types of users can learn how to get around it, including those with a low experience level.

Refresh the disk and input sector range to process

This program enables you to refresh the signal of a hard drive by simply reading and writing each sector individually. It is possible to process partitions, as well as the entire physical drive, while removable storage devices are also supported.
You can choose to refresh only a particular range of sectors, or you can choose to perform this operation on the entire partition. In addition to that, you can pause or stop the process, so as to continue it at a later date, while a progress bar enables you to approximate the time left and reports are generated and opened in a Notepad window. No other notable options are supported.
