I have winblows vista 64 and when i run a disk check I get a blank screen after it restarts then I wait for a few minutes and then windows finally loads so i am not sure it actually works and what not. Is there a better program that will do this for me?
isnt that a data recovery program not a disk error check program
Sure but it can do this as well:
TestDisk can
Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
Fix FAT tables
Rebuild NTFS boot sector
Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
Fix MFT using MFT mirror
Locate ext2/ext3 Backup SuperBlock
Undelete files from FAT, NTFS and ext2 filesystem
Copy files from deleted FAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3 partitions.
not the easiest program to navigate
Either one of these work?

so far the second one's manual is in german only and keeps getting the error disk is in use and the first one was blocked by eset anti virus from installing.
I use Tuneup Disk Doctor , Norton's Disk Doctor is another option .
Tune-Up Utilities trial : http://www.tune-up.com/download/
scan disk comes out when there is power off prob right click on partion & check both options in scan disk click on yes & in restart it will do scaning for bad sectors etc :)
