Hi everyone, a few months ago I did a tutorial on how to repair a hard drive using the
Victoria application, although now I want renew that video for two reasons.
The first is that in the comments you have left some doubts about certain aspects
of the program that I have been clarifying one by one, but I think it's better to make a new video
more complete where response to all of them.
In addition, there is currently one more version current program, so I take advantage
and I make this new video using the version now more recent.
The first logical thing is to download the program whose link I will leave you in the description of
video, and once we have it, we just have to unzip the Zip by right clicking
and clicking on Extract.
Now we enter the folder that was created and we have to execute the file called
Victoria.exe, although it is very important that let's do it as administrator, because if not
the program will not work correctly. To do this we simply right click
on the file, and then on Run as administrator.
Once with the program open, which as you have seen, it does not require installation,
We went to see each of the options and how they should be used.
The first thing we will see is this window, and here in the part on the right is where you
your storage units appear, so it is very important to select the
correct unit that you want to repair.
Also if you have a USB external hard drive, and is connected, the program also what
will recognize, for example I will connect a external hard drive, and you'll see how it appears
now also in the box.
In my case I now have a total of 4 discs hard, 3 internal and one external, which is precisely
the one that I'm going to repair.
When it comes to knowing which is each hard drive, you can be guided by their size, for example
in my case my external hard drive is this one 160GB so you have no loss, although
if in yours you have two hard drives of the same capacity and do not know how to differentiate
which is which one to insure you first of what disk you are selected
A method to know which name corresponds to each hard drive in the event that you saw
before the problem of not being sure which is what, it is to open the Disk Manager
of Windows, for that we write in the search engine from Windows at the bottom left the word "Disco
Hard ", and we enter this application of here, "Create and Format Partitions of the
HDD".
As you see we get this window with all our hard drives, and if we right click on
one of the boxes on the left, in the that corresponds to the disk that we want to see
your name, and then we enter properties, this window will open, where you can
see the name of the hard drive, so now you already know to which concrete unit it belongs.
Once, clarified this, I frame with the mouse the hard drive that we want to repair, and fix
that in the top part of the program also indicated the hard drive that I just
select, so remember that it is very important not to confuse you from disk.
Now we go to the tab that says SMART, and if we click on the "Get SMART" button
We can see information about the state of the disk.
In my case as you see, I leave several paramentos in yellow, and that's a bad sign, although
It would be worse if they came out in red.
To give you an idea, I will select another of my hard drives, that this almost new,
and so you see the difference, for example I select this one terabyte, I return to the SMART tab,
I give Get SMART, and I get almost everything in green, which indicates that the disk status
it's good.
While the Get SMART only gives us information about the general state of the disk, but what
important is how we do to repair or improve the state of our disk, and to
I re-select the disc I want repair, that this one here of 160GB, and we
we go to the tab that says "Test".
This tab is what you really have who learns to use, and for that we're going to see
what does each of the main options do?
If we look at the option "Ignore" it comes checked by default, and this option what
does it allow us to scan our disk hard in search of damaged sectors, but the
program will not repair them, just will tell us how many damaged sectors you have found
but without doing anything else.
So if I leave marked "Ignore" and then I press the "Scan" button
to start the scan, we'll see how the program start looking for defective sectors.
But as I say, this option is only informative, and in my case I want that if I repair the sectors
defective, and for that we have the option "Remap".
So I'm going to stop the scan by pressing Stop, and mark "Remap", pulse again
"Scan", and now the program does not just it will tell how many damaged sectors it finds
but also try to repair them.
If you look here we see a series of colored squares, and that's what it tells us
is the status of each scanned sector, the of white color that as you can see are the majority,
are those that are in perfect condition, while that the two in gray are sectors with
a slightly longer reading time, but even so it is also in a state
optimal and there is nothing to worry about.
For its part, the green color indicates that the sector has become somewhat slow, and if you look
the program gives me the option to mark those sectors to be repaired, but this
it's really not necessary, since a sector in green, it's not worrisome, so my
advice is that you leave the green sectors unmarked.
Next are the Oranges, the Reds, and the Blues, which are sectors that really
they should worry, because the color Orange it indicates a reading time too much
elevated, that is, the orange sectors still work but possibly not long
so that they start to fail.
The Reds on their part are sectors that are in a defective state, while
that the Blues, are sectors that directly they give reading failure, that is, they are totally
unrecoverable.
Therefore, these blue sectors need be reassigned so the disk does not use them
more during its operation, at the time that are replaced by sectors in good condition
of the disk backup area, and for that We are using the "Remap" option, to
that the program makes a reassignment of these defective sectors.
By the way, before continuing, I also I commented that if you click on the option that
says "Grid", that is, grid in English, we can change the scan view, to
so instead of seeing squares, it will show a graph where it is easier to go seeing
the status of each sector of the disk.
Now that we know what the option is for "Remap", and how to repair bad sectors,
with her, I want to clarify that this method, does not erase information from the disk, so
it is safe to mark this option, and it is the I recommend you use.
The "Remap" what it does is try to recover the defective sector, to make it healthy,
or in the case that you can not, mark it as not functional and replaces it with one in good
state of the reserve area, since the discs hard bring spare sectors.
Now, that the hard drive is still repairing with the "Remap", I will explain other methods
of repair, which are precisely the that in the previous video, you had doubts.
Specifically one of those options is "Erase", or "erase" to sound easier. If we mark
this option, what the program does is that when we start the scan, and find a
damaged sector, it overwrites it by deleting all your information, as this can also be
fix a sector that has become slow, but this implies that we can lose part
of the information that we had saved On the disk.
That is, "Erase" you should only use it if the hard drive you are trying to repair,
he has nothing stored in him, or at least nothing that you care about losing, since you could
if you could lose some files, if the program just overwrites
those sectors in particular.
I want to clarify, that "Remap" and "Erase" are two complementary methods, that is,
you can use the "Remap" and once you have concluded that repair, re-repair
the disc using now "Erase", although in that case remember that as I said,
with "Erase" you can lose information, so it is only recommended to use it in
hard drives in which you have nothing saved.
And finally I want to talk about the option "Write", writing in English, which is
it's here, and it's the one you have to use with more concern of all, since what
what that option does is format the disk hard completely, that is with this option
the program does not stop to find what sectors are defective to repair them, if not
that directly overwrites the entire disk to completely erase the information.
Or what is the same erases absolutely all Hard disk sectors are damaged
or not, and in that way try to make them healthy, even those who were already
although as I say the price if you mark this option, is that all the disc information
hard will be completely erased, to the point that even the partitions will disappear
that you had on the disk, so only you must use this option if the hard disk
It does not contain anything you want to keep.
In fact, I'm going to do a test, and notice that If I check the "Write" option, it will not let me
mark any other option of the program, and when I hit the "Scan" button to
start scanning I get a window of warning asking me if I'm sure
to continue, since the entire hard drive will be erased.
That is why the option "Write" never it must be marked, unless you are very
sure that the selected disc does not contain absolutely nothing, and therefore you do not care
that all information is deleted. Further, check carefully if you have selected the disk
hard right, and do not go to erase another hard drive by mistake.
In any case, if you do not want to take risks, I recommend using only the "Remap" option
when it comes to repairing a disc, and if you have information in it, is in fact the only
option that you must use, to not lose anything.
In addition, I also want to emphasize, in that although the "Remap" option does not erase
information, that does not mean that it is advisable is that you always do backup
of all your important files, to avoid then lamenting.
Since a hard drive that has given samples of being in poor condition, we never know in what
moment a critical failure can occur that could endanger the information,
so again remember always do Backup everything you want
keep, just in case.
To conclude, as you can see the program has many more options and other tabs
which we have not spoken, but when you use it, never touch any of those options,
that you could damage the disk information hard if you do not know what you're doing,
what you simply work with only Get Smart, and Test tabs, always using
Only the options that I have commented.
That is, always note that the "Read" option marked, and if possible use only the
"Ignore" option if you only want see the bad sectors without the program
do nothing, or the "Remap" if you want to repair the disc without losing information.
And here the video, I hope that I have been useful, if so, you can give
Like, or if you have any doubt leave it in the comments, and do not forget to subscribe,
See you later.
