Solve : Is there a free error checking program that's better then Check Disk??

Answer»

I would like to know if there is a free hard disk error checking program that's better then Check Disk in XP? I would want it to FIX the ERRORS it finds too.

Let me know!All hard drive manuf. offer a FREE diagnostic utility at their sites...and they are all more effective than chkdsk.CHKDSK is the new SCANDISK, right?

For TESTING the drive itself, yes, not necessarily for testing the filesystem.
CHKDKS and the diagnostic utility should both be used.

As for fixing problems:
If its physical damage, that can not really be fixed. If its just a problem with the filesystem caused by, say, an improper shutdown, CHKDSK should be able to fix it.
