SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detects and explains disk hardware issues, bad sectors, SMART warnings, and file system anomalies so users can avoid data loss and choose safe remediation steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Health and Sector Diagnostics: Perform SMART analysis and non-destructive bad-sector scans to identify failing drives before they cause data loss.
  • File System Validation: Validate partition file systems and interpret CHKDSK-like symptoms to recommend safe next steps prior to operations such as cloning, resizing, or conversion.
  • Practical Use Case: When a workstation shows frequent I/O errors and unclear CHKDSK output, use the workflow to determine whether to repair, image, or replace the drive and to capture a preflight health baseline.

Quick Start

Run scripts/install-epm.cmd from the skill directory to install EaseUS Partition Master and then launch Disk Health to analyze the target drive.
