Default Re: Win2k/NTFS Hard Drive Security

I don't have 2K, but in XP it's a chkdsk /r you want to run, big distinction between a check and a physical check. It's a fickle beast but normally a good indicator, it's not perfect but better than nothing. In any case once you get a single bad sector it's time for a new disk, unless your certain it was a one off incident that caused it.
