Re: Win2k/NTFS Hard Drive Security
If you refer to the first post, you will see that I already ran scandisk (aka chkdsk in "DOS") on the drive.

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.

Re: Win2k/NTFS Hard Drive Security
After many ages of man, chkdsk /r returned 0 errors, just as chkdsk /p did prior to the original post.
