Check Disk GUI

Check Disk GUI is a tiny and portable application that serves as a graphical user interface for the CheckDisk command line built into Windows.

It comes in handy whenever you need to check the hard drive for any errors and attempt to fix them if any.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the executable file somewhere on the hard disk and click it to run.

It is also possible to save Check Disk GUI to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows Registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not left behind on the HDD after eliminating the app.

The interface consists of a small, regular window with a plain and simple layout, where you can select the target drive from a drop-down list and ask Check Disk GUI to fix errors, including bad sector.

You can use force when dismounting the volume in question, show messages, enable an incomplete index checkup, as well as set the program to skip cycle checking.

Check Disk GUI is very light on the system resources, running on a minimal amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works fine, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs.

We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation. Check Disk GUI serves its purpose.
