Utility for checking disks for errors
« on: January 01, 2008, 09:43:45 PM »
Can anyone recommend a utility to check a harddisk for bad sectos, read and write errors and anything else of importance for the health of the disk?? Something similar to scandisk on a Windows machine.

I have tried checkdisk from aminet, and it seems to do the job alright, but it's sooo slow. I reckon it will take 2 hours to check a 1 GB disk :-( I need something that's quicker and can handle drives above 4 GB.

Does QB Tools support drives over 4 GB?
