Win2K - how to detect bad sectors?

[Adrian Tung]

I think my PC is acting up again... but scanning my harddisk and checking my harddisk properties does not show any info on bad sectors at all, not even the command prompt chkdsk command. Any ideas?

Thanx!

I thought that Win2K put a log entry into the software log after a scandisk. If it finds bad spot during normal operations it will put something in the system log. Look around in your logs and see if it says anything.

Do you mean Event Viewer->System Log? If so, I didn't find anything unusual there.

BTW Thanx!
