I'm using Windows XP Professional. I use to use Scandisk to see if there are any bad sectors, but I don't see scandisk anymore. What other tool can I use?

control panel-computer management-disk manager-right click on drive on right-choose properites-click on tools tab should be able to do a scan for bad sectors from here

This is in 2k, but I think it's the same for XP.
