would these bad sectors be marked only for the windows drive or any drive?? &,
is it essential to have windows installed on that drive on which chkdsk has to
be run?? meaning, can it be installed, as an extra drive, be run through chkdsk
& be sure that all the bad sectors are marked &, henceforth, the data stored on
the drive wouldn't get damaged because of the existing bad sectors?? or that,
it wouldn't be copied into those sectors that are affected??
thanks a lot for your help!!
bye,
bharat.

Quite correct, Nolan.
In fact, if you type
chkdsk/?
(that is slash asterisk after the chkdsk)
It will give you a list of switches.
And yes, bad sectors will be marked.

Can you not run the program chkdsk? I'm not sure whether it marks bad
sectors or not, but I suspect it does.
I generally run
chkdsk /f (fixes errors)
I'd be surprised to learn that chkdsk doesn't mark bad sectors.
