NOlan, Unless you're talking about a very recently upgraded chkdsk.exe
program, chkdsk does not mark bad sectors on a disk.  It will tell you how
many bytes are in bad sectors, and it attempts to recover some data in
scrambled or "crosslinked" files, but it does not do disk repair.  I think
that the program that makes more of an attempt at that task would be
scandisk.exe or a third-party program like NOrton Disk Doctor that comes
with the Norton Utilities suites.
