Back in the hay day of PCs, Norton's Disk Test would test for bad sectors
and, if found, would mark them as bad so Windows would not use them. The
Norton test requirements were more stringent than Windows so any sector that
passed Norton's test would pass Windows requirements. Is there a Vista
supported product on the market today that will do this? All the adverts
talk about data recovery. I'm more interested in fault prevention. Where
is Peter Norton when you need him (no offense Symantec). Thanks...
