Default Request.. disk drive test


Hi..

I'm looking for something to Norton disk doctor that scanes a hrad
dirive for surface errors, and then removes the bad sectors

OS w2k
File system NTFS
Drive 250GB with SMART

I have Norton system works, but hesitate to install it because it is
like a bad weed. once on, you cannot get it off. I tried running from
CD, but you cannot turn on the surface scan from the CD

TIA
--G

I think I missed the original thread. Did you try HDTune? It's a very nice
benchmarking/scanning program.
