  7. The scan and repair feature inspects and repairs your hard disk drive physical medium by re-mapping areas that can no longer be properly read. In most cases, data in these areas is unreadable and therefore irreparable. Data that can be properly read will be preserved. Click on Proceed to repair the areas as necessary during the scan process.
     
  8. Choose Proceed to begin diagnosis.
