**Urgent** - Any good Hard Drive Check Disk Tools?

[Firegod]

Hello!

My hard drive is making some strange noises. I've ran a Windows Check Disk which reported some errors, but I'm wondering if there are any better tools to run? Or if not better, just any other tool to see if it finds errors as well...

Thanks for any help!

Ahhh cheers guys. I went to WD site and I'm downloading the Data Lifeguard Diagnostic Tool.

Good thinking! lol

Hey thanks for all the help!

I'm going to backup again tonight. It hasn't done it again since last night, and since running the Windows Checkdisk (and repairing some issues) everything else checks ok out. The WD Tool reported all the SMART values as above their thresholds so all the drives appear fine.

Nevertheless... can't be too careful! Fingers crossed, otherwise i'm moving to SSD. Hehe.

Thanks again!
