Diagnostics on RAID drives?

[SkiFletch]

hey guys, how does one run diagnostics to hdds while in RAID 0? Windows wont run scandisk for me even if I schedule it on startup, let alone a surface scan which is what I really want to do. runnin XP in case that makes a difference, and all partitions are NTFS. I couldnt even use good old 98 scandisk cause my siz is ntfs right ?

How about running good 'ol chkdsk? chkdsk on NT is alot different than chkdsk on win9x. I know you can just type "chkdsk" at the command line, and I believe [Start][Run...] "chkdsk" will work too.

It might require a restart though...some parts of chkdsk only work upon startup. Oh, and you can set chkdsk to run upon startup too if you'd like.

Why don't the disk tools in Win2k work? I thought these functioned just fine...

well, i'd love to do that, but every time I run chkdisk (it always requires to reboot) it lists some error message before closing way too fast for me to be able to read it... grrrrr
