Kashim Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Does anyone know a good program for finding bad sectors/physical errors on a hard drive? I've been using chkdsk with the /R switch, but it's not very sophisticated. I can't use the testing utilities provided by the drive manufacturer either. Some of my disks are connected to third party I/O controllers and aren't recognized by those programs. The program doesn't have to be free. I'm willing to pay for something that's good, but I don't want to install something huge and clunky like Norton Utilities for example. All suggestions are welcome.

joll69 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 i'd recommend spinrite. I've had success reviving drives i thought were dead, and keeping my other drives in good maintenance.-joll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
