Software recommendation for checking for bad sectors

[motorollin]

Use ScanDisk to do a thorough scan and it will check the disk surface for bad sectors, and mark any that it finds.

Scandisk should tell you at the end if it has found any errors. If it doesn't report anything, then it finds no errors.

I don't know why you would need to see the location of the bad blocks. They are marked in a table on the disk, so the disk itself will ensure that the blocks are not written to.

Just make sure the option to automatically fix errors is DISABLED, otherwise it might fix things without telling you. If that option is disabled, it will warn you if it finds any bad sectors (and I think it actually tells you which sector it is too, so you could mark it in HDToolBox if you want to use it on your Amiga).
