Suface Scan - Disk Repair and Quick Fix missing

[Bill_C]

This is really strange.

I am using a USB boot flash drive that boots into a Windows environment. The boot drive program has the run command and Windows Explorer and other programs. In the USB Flash Drive, I have installed Hard Disk Sentinel Pro. Everything works fine in HDS except 2 features in the Surface scan are missing. In the Test operation box, these are missing:

Disk Repair
Quick Fix

The only ones showing are Read Test, Write Test, Write + Read, Read + Write, Reinitialise Disk Surface.

This does not happen with the HDS install on my main internal hard drive. All 7 surface tests are there.

Why are Disk Repair and Quick Fix missing from the USB Boot Disk install?

Probably one or more file(s) may be missing from the Hard Disk Sentinel folder.

This can happen if you attempt to start Hard Disk Sentinel installed on the actual computer - while you boot from a different drive (the USB boot flash drive).

If you use the USB flash drive, then you'd need to use Hard Disk Sentinel Pro Portable (started from that USB pendrive) instead of starting the Hard Disk Sentinel installed on the actual system.
