 Hard Disk Error Correction 

 

Hard disk error correction can be performed with Acronis DiskEditor, a part of 
the Acronis PowerUtilities suite. 

Acronis DiskEditor assumes user’s relatively high qualification and knowledge 
of hard disk logical structures and data storage methods. Thus this chapter 
only describes its interface and functionality. 

Working with the Acronis DiskEditor program begins with the Open dialog 
window that users see after clicking the Acronis DiskEditor line in the 
program group of Programs desktop start menu. 

 

By default the program automatically marks the first hard disk for working. 
You may select any other disk or individual partition – by clicking the left 
mouse button on a corresponding rectangle. 

 

The difference between selecting the entire disk or a partition only is the following: if 

you select the entire disk you will be able to view and edit data storage structures of 

the  entire disk – Partition table, File Allocation Table of all disk partitions, the root 
folder, data area. If you select a partition only, you will be able to view and edit only 

data storage structures of this partition – File Allocation Table, the root folder and 
data area of the selected partition.
