Just a question.. I have 3 drives, whenever I do the Run command and put in CMD, it shows me boot drive, which is my C drive. I want it to scan my E: drive. how do I do that?

when i do the error check it says my hard drive has errors but when i click repair drive and reboot it does not fix anything. when i enter "diskdrive get status" into cmd it says the status is OK

So what do you do if crystal disk scan says you have bad reallocated sectors count?
