bro wlay ordinary software than can reliably check hd surfaces...

sulayi lang SCandisk sa DOS para ma-flag dirty ang bad sectors...

a bootdisk is required when running pure DOS environment. If your hardrive is FAT32, I recommend Windows98SE Bootdisk. If you in NTFS, just use the scandisk in windows and check all boxes...

If running Windows98SE:
format a: /s
loaded with himem.sys and smartdrv /l in config.sys and autoexec.bat (maybe)
scandisk.exe found in windows/commands or windows dir

when running scandisk in DOS, choose thorough test to check disk surface for bad sectors, AMD_infinium05æ is right, those damage surfaces can be check and marked as B if bad sectors are found...
