Windows Surface Scanner Fast Start Guide:

1. Press the 'Mount' button. That will query your system for all physical
   Drives currently mounted. Once found a list will be presented to you with check
   boxes next to each drive.  You may only choose on drive at a time to scan.
2. Use the check boxes to the left of the drive to indicate which drive
   you wish to have the software scan.  One again, only one drive may be
   scanned at a time.
3. Press the 'Scan' button. This will start the surface scan of the
   currently selected drive.  As the scan progresses the progress bar will move
   forward and a percent indicator above the progress bar will be incremented.
   A 'Sector' counter will be incremented to give you an indication that the
   software is indeed scanning the surface of your drive.  In addition there is a
   'Time' indicator that will give you an estimate as to the time remaining for the
   current scan.  This time can fluctuate if there are several or just a few bad
   sectors on the drive.

Lastly, there is an 'Error' indicator.  This indicator will increment every time
the software encounters a bad sector.  If you have several bad sectors it would
be wise to contact a data recovery company. About hard drive recovery.
