Scandisk

Hey, I am just wondering if anyone knows where to get a freeware or shareware program that will do a scandisk.

I dont think that scandisk is accurately checking everything that is why I am asking.

I have heard that spinrite and diskdoctor are very good. Know of a link to either?

I believe that scandisk has marked some clusters as bad that are not really bad will norton re-check to see if they are really bad? Or will it just check to see if any good ones are bad?

I would use spinrite on the drive and try to recover the bad sectors. If that doesn't work then try to Low Level Format the drive

Thats what people have been recommending to me, do you know where i can get a trial version? I dont want to buy anything unless I know that it is going to work.

I used Spinrite a while ago and liked it a lot, but unfortunately don`t have it anymore.

The homepage says they don`t do a demo anymore.
