Hard Disk Integrity Checks

ServerMagic checks disk integrity with a sophisticated system of analysis and validation that operates behind the scenes every time you start the program or complete an operation. An initial integrity check scans your disk and reports any partition problems that may prevent ServerMagic from operating properly. This integrity check acts as an early warning system that informs you of your disk's status and assures that the disk's structure is thoroughly analyzed and verified before you alter it.

If your physical disk passes the initial integrity check, you can select the disk's partitions and use ServerMagic's features; otherwise, an error message appears instead of the partition list. This indicates a problem with your disk, not with ServerMagic (because no disk modification operations have been started). Correct the disk problem, and then restart ServerMagic.

In addition to the integrity check at startup time, ServerMagic performs two integrity checks during any operation. The first check tests the integrity of the file system in the partition before an operation begins (similar to CHKDSK or MS ScanDisk), and the second check validates your disk's data after an operation is completed. From start to finish, ServerMagic analyzes your disk and informs you immediately if it detects any irregularities.
