The easy way of fixing diskpart errors is to check and scan disk errors with professional disk managing program, Partition Expert is the software we can try, it’s portable and powerful. There are many useful functions to deal with disk, partition, free space problems, but what we’re going to use are two functions to fix diskpart errors.

Run Partition Expert and click on one partition and click Check Volume, in the opened dialog box, check both of the options: Fix found errors and Try to fix found bad sectors, and then click OK and Commit, after committed this operation, errors in the below list will be fixed:

  • diskpart clean error incorrect function
  • diskpart clean error cyclic redundancy check
  • diskpart clean error device not ready

This is to scan the hard drive for bad sectors, physical bad sectors,
while Check Volume is to found and fix the logical ones. The feature of this function is that you can specify scan area on the hard drive and isolate them if needed, of course, if any bad sectors are found and showed as a red dot, it’s time to replace the hard drive.

Steps to surface test hard drive:

  • Right-click on the disk and choose Surface test.
  • In the new window click Scan area and adjust the partition for scanning.
  • Click Scan Now to start.

Tips: Partition Expert, as the all-in-one disk managing tool, has all the features that the command diskpart has, the best way of avoiding diskpart errors is, not to use it…(joke), to use some advanced disk manager instead, for both of the data security and data moving efficiency.
