Disk check
in [CSharp]

From: CM on 11 Mar 2010 21:56 Is there any way to do a disk check on just one file? For example, to detect if a particular file is affected by bad sectors without scanning the entire file system?

Now that is an unusual request. I'm going to say no, not from C#. And pretty complicated from C++. I'm really not sure to its application, if you have hard drive you know has a certain amount of bad sectors on it, for starters you want to stop using it. Just running a chkdsk and it telling you there are bad sectors should be enough for you to shift off off it, without worrying about the individual files effected (which chkdsk will tell you anyhow). What's the scenario and application you're looking to apply this to? Perhaps there's a better method. -- Mike GoTinker, C# Blog http://www.gotinker.com
