Norton Utilities isn't good 3rd party disk software..

For the average home user, all you need is chkdsk and the drive diagnostic
tool provided by the mfg of your hard drive.
As stated, Norton Utilities was a waste of money.

Using the word "good" and Norton Utilities (heck, Norton anything) in the
same sentence is hereby forbidden! (-:

Harsh, dude. I used to love Norton back in the Windows 95 days. Uh, not

Norton Utilities were useless in XP. Good doesn't belong in the same

I agree, they had gotten pretty bad in recent years.
I've just had alot of weird issues lately with my second harddrive
(400gb sata 1.5 gb/s) (D).. often I'll reboot and it will be repairing
indices and other odd things. I think its resulting in corruption of
my harddrive. I've even had the drive replaced too.. I guess I'll try
the seagate tools to see if it shows errors.

Use HD Tune (www.hdtune.com). It is a single .exe file. Nothing to install -
and there is a Vista ready version.
Run as administrator.

The chkdsk tool is better in Vista. You can now do online disk checks of
your system drive and get realistic results. In prior Windows versions,
doing online disk checking led to lots of false positives for disk
"problems." Not any more. In addition, you now get a report as well even
when you run from the GUI mode.
You still must run chkdsk with the /f switch on a reboot. Maybe they'll fix
that one too in later versions.

Hardisk hardware? I'm running an asus p5n32sli-se deluxe
motherboard.. 2gb 800MHZ ram, 1.83 GHZ cpu (dual core2).. Seagate
160gb SataII OS drive, Hitachi 500gb sataII data D drive, Seagate
400gb SataI internal backup drive (E) and an external 400gb Seagates
