Windows 98SE LBA-48 Scandisk Replacement?

[SlugFiller]

I used to use NDD because it was more verbose, and seemed more reliable (unlikely to crash itself, at least), but lesser performance and consistent issues with localized filenames prompted a return to good old scandisk.

Overall, NDD isn't so great. It has a plethora of issues, and doesn't apply fixes smoothly enough.

At any rate, with my current disk size, I prefer only to run a scan when there is valid suspicion of a file-system error, and do so manually. After all, it can easily take the better part of an hour with modern disk sizes.
