Alternative to Check Disk

[nivek329]

I'm having problems with a HDD which has some sort of fault on it. :sword:
I've tried running check disk which comes with XP but the thing never gets to the end. :tredmil: If I do a full scan it gets to 100% but then hangs and my PC don't re-boot :cheeburga so I'm looking for another program to check my HDD with.
I know there is one in Norton System Works but I have never liked that suit so I would prefer something else.
Any idea folks?

I used to have Fix Utilities for that but the company Ontrack computer sold the rights to another company and I can't remember the page

Cheers m8.
It seems to be working but the program has been running for about 18 hours now and has gone through nearly 80MB of a 120GB HDD, so I think it might take a while until I can check the results.

I thought the "open source" boys would be falling over themselves with ideas but it would appear not.

Found Fix-It Utilities™ 5 from VCOM

I'll try that if I get no joy with other efforts.
