`Check bad sectors and mark bad sectors as red are the key functions Macrorit Disk Scanner has, unlike the default
`check bad sector tool in Windows 10, or Windows 7, Macrorit Disk Scanner scans each sector and shows the result in
`real-time in different colors: green means this sector is good, while red means it's a bad sector and yellow means it is
`now scanning sector. The snap-in check bad sector program scans only partition file system if you want to check the
`whole disk; you have to check it partition by partition. Check bad sector command tool works the same way as the
`default tool, only supports partition check.

`Disk Scanner is a hard drive or SSD scanner, it tests disk surface, scans bad sectors but it is not also to repair bad
`sectors, those physical bad sectors can't be repaired either, when you found bad sectors in groups, it's time to
`replace with a new one, otherwise, it will eventually damage the operating system and data in bad sectors cannot
`be retrieved by any data recovery software
