I thought DiskDoctor wich comes standard with Workbench (at least, with my wb1.3 that is) would do kinda the same as scandisk.

man, checkdisk.. THAT is long ago :-)


Don't use diskdoctor, there is a reason the later Workbenches did not have it...diskdoctor is no good at all (unless you want to destroy your disks)!

If I run HDToolBox's Verify option would that be dangerous in conjunction with an RDB formatted with SCSIConfig v1.27? Would the badblocks be automatically sorted or do I have to map them manually.



It is not a good idea to use two different programes like that, you risk data loss.

Does Workbench report errors on the drive?

SFS (Smart File System) is better to use than FFS, no more invalid hard drives!
