The main way the check a drive for errors is to use a disk checking utility. You can use CHKDSK or Scandisk for this.

If you are in Windows, you can go to My Computer and right-click on the drive in question and go to Properties. Then go to Tools and there should be a button that says Check Now. You would click that.

You can also use 3rd-party utilities. Your hard drive manufacturer may have a surface test utility, and it can relocate some of the sectors if necessary.

Can wife add her name to his checking account without his approval legally?

No she can't as a matter of fact without his written permission she can't even get general information about that account. This is what I found to be amazing, if this couple has a joint savings account, but the husband's name is the only one on the checking account, he is the only one that can legally transfer money from the savings account to the checking account. It also works this way if there is a joint checking account and money needs to be transferred from the joint checking account, to the savings account with only the husband's name on it, he is the only one that can move money from one account to the other. I am a bank manager and I know this is more information than you asked for, but when I have to explain this to couples, it often leads to a very heated discussion between them in my office. I live in Virginia and I can only answer for Virginia. I hope you found this answer helpful.
