During the analysis, TuneUp Disk Doctor will show you the current progress as
a percentage and in graphical form. The boxes displayed represent the space
usage of the drive being examined.
Normal Analysis
TuneUp Disk Doctor performs normal analysis of your drives in multiple steps.
The exact number of steps and their sequence depend on the file system of each
drive. The following table explains all possible steps.
Analysis step Explanation
Checking files and
folders
NTFS & FAT
Each element in the file system is analyzed to ensure that all files and
folders are present at their indicated locations.
Checking indices
Only NTFS
Indices are references to folders in the NTFS file system. If any of these
indices are damaged, the associated folders will not be displayed in the file
system.
If any or your files or folders have suddenly "disappeared", there is a good
chance that they will be recovered after repairing the file system.
Checking safety
descriptions
Only NTFS
Files and folders in an NTFS files system can be protected by so-called
safety descriptions, which block access by unauthorized users.
During the analysis, errors in these descriptions are found and corrected.
TuneUp Disk
Doctor will
perform a careful
analysis of the
selected drives.
