Win2k: Search for lost clusters?

Hi!

Unfortunately, NDD.EXE (from Norton Utilities 2002) doesn't find my NTFS formatted partitions.

Is there another small standalone tool which does the same job?

Or do I have to use CHKDSK? (which parameters?)

Thanks in advance for your replies!

NDD ugghhh! 2002 does not support you apparently.

from command prompt - chkdsk /? will answer your question.

For that matter, right-clicking on the drive in question allows for a "scandisk" as well (right-click, select Properies, then the Tools tab.).

edit - also some Linux Live CD's will also do this (I think...).

@submix8c: I used your second method which seems to be a GUI for chkdsk. I checked the option "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". The scan took a while but did not give me a report. Can I now be sure that there are no lost clusters on the disk?
