I want to know how to check whether newly purchased harddisk is physically intact, having no bad sectors. Is there any mechanism to check the quality of harddisk ? I want to purchase 160 GB Seagate SATA Harddisk. My PC configuration includes Intel core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz processor, Intel D945 GCPE original Motherboard, 1 GB DDR2 RAM, LG DVD writer. OS is Windows Xp SP2.
Please suggest me.
