Is there anything better than CHKDSK?

[SlowBurn]

Just curious if any of you use anything other than chkdsk or Norton Disk Doctor, when fixing and/or searching for disk errors in Windows XP?

If it would work, I'd bust out Scandisk for DOS But it dosen't like NTFS, or probably even drives this big.... (that and it's slow as poo). Sometimes I really wish I formatted FAT32 just to see what it would be like

Haven't heard of any other utilities for XP besides the ones you mentioned, so unless somebody else has ideas....

That's kind of what I figured...

Half my drives are formatted FAT32 (for recovery/backup reasons) and the rest are NTFS..and I really cant tell the difference other than the standard difference (the FAT32 are Maxtor 7200RPMs and the NTFS are WD120 SE's) Though Im trying to find the thread about the DOS addon so it could read NTFS.

As for the question of the thread, I havent seen anything else either though I beleive drive MFR's do have types of "drive checkers" for their drives, I know that atleast Maxtor does, check for bad sectors or errors and whatnot, I would assume that WD has some too.
