install notron utilities 2002 on th XP and let it run the surface scan. or u can use the the through scandisk of the WINXP .. i would advise you to do it in the Safe mode
----------
Norton Utilities 2003 "Disk Doctor" invokes XP's CHKDSK /R which does not repair the bad sectors on my drive. My problem may be compounded by the known ability of PowerQuest (now Symantec) disk imaging products to clone bad sectors.
I have reforamtted the disk and restored the contents from a PowerQuest V2i image only to find the bad sectors were there (again).
