A little bit of confusion here - the bad sectors I'd seen following a read-only were on someone else's computer.

The chkdsk /r on mine didn't report any bad sectors.

I've seen a read-only report 4KB in Bad Sectors before now but I've run the chkdsk /r and other than cleaning up some unused index and security descriptors, it came back clean for the volume and bad sectors.

Thanks for the reply Shane but that's not it.

To save time I just run chkdsk in read-only mode and that comes up clean both on the volume and bad sectors although I haven't run a Seagate test on it.

When running chkdsk from within Windows there's no need to add c: and /r has the attributes of /f so you only need to enter chkdsk /r for the combined hard disk and file check, but it's best to run the read-only first as data can be lost if it finds bad sectors and moves what data it can to the good areas of the disk.

I'm new to this forum and not sure how to see if anyone else has had this or other problems after running the program in the thread title, but I've run this program with default settings on two Win 7 SP1 x64 bit laptops and on one it froze the system after the reboot and had great difficulty in establishing a Wireless connection.

I was eventually able to get into the Reliability history where it had a Critical Error of Windows Media Center Host Module Stopped and no answer as to why when checking for solutions.

The laptop has managed to repair itself and is now running okay as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure why in the forum rules it says that posts are not actively monitored when the program says to come to this forum for Feedback, but I'd appreciate it if someone did have an explanation for the Critical Error.
