so i remember using scandisk and norton disk doctor in the past.
i would think that a company such as makes mini-tool with a nice GUI surface scan
would be kind enough to offer some help with the defect list it take so long to aquire
but apparently does NOT.

a ten hour mini-tool session scanning a disk with 100 errors leaves me no better off for it.

CHKDSK and FORMAT would HANDLE the issue somehow that the remains of the usable disk are are accounted for as are the non-usable areas so that my OS can move along with best speed and no hangs.
but these utils are taking DAYS to complete.

will this hddguru app mark off these for non-use?
and / or
is there a fast formatter for windows that will not waste alot of time and timeout
on questionable disk surface area?
