How Do You Fix A Restored Hard Drive?
A restored hard drive is a drive that has previously demonstrated its propensity for errors. These drives are often sold as “refurbished” models, and can be had at a discount price for the daring individual willing to risk his data with a potentially volatile drive. Fixing these drives to minimize the chance of future errors requires the use of the disk repair tools present within your operating system. Open the “Start” menu and press “Run.” Type “cmd” and press “Enter.” Type “chkdsk x: /f” and press “Enter,” where “x” is the letter of your restored hard drive. Select “Y” when asked if you want to scan the drive at the next restart. Reboot your computer. The drive will be scanned and repaired.
