Checking for bad sectors

[slipd]

Hi guys,

Are there any decent free apps out there that would allow me to scan my drives for physical damage/bad sectors? Preferably with a nice gui

Cheers!

I use HDTune, chkdsk only does partitions rather than a whole disk.

Cheers mate - that's what I ended up using in the end!

I'm prepping up a couple of drives for eBay, but I just wanted to check them first

Is hdtune fairly sound; neither drives reported having any bad sectors...
