    Can anyone recommend a good program that will check both the file system and sectors for errors? I've got Windows Disk Manager reporting a bad File System, Acronis Disk Director Suite reporting bad sectors (failure to read/write), and meanwhile CHKDSK reports nothing, and I'm not entirely sure if it's a limitation of each program or just one problem.

    The problem is that it returns no errors, yet Disk Manager and Acronis won't let me continue because it thinks there are errors.
