Self-tutoring about Windows: the tutor shares a way to check hard drive health.<\/h2>\n

I’ve read that WMIC stands for Windows Management Instrumentation Command-Line. It includes a way to check hard drive health, as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open command prompt.\n
  2. Type wmic diskdrive get model, status<\/span> then press Enter.\n
  3. A table will appear of the storage devices connected to the computer and their status. A status of OK suggests wmic doesn’t anticipate failure. It can return “Pred Fail” to predict failure.\n<\/ol>\n

    I ran this command and got OK for the status of the hard drive. A neat bonus is that it gives status for each of the other drives connected to the computer.<\/p>\n
