Hi All,
Does anybody know of any hard disk repair software akin to Norton Disk Doctor or Chkdsk that i can use on my PC.

Norton is way too bloaty to use on my machine and chkdsk finds nowt wrong, however i have a file i cannot get rid off in my system32 directory which was installed for the AC3 codec even as administrator in safe mode. I can rename it OK, but if i try to delete it, it says Access Denied even though i have taken ownership of the file as admin.

Therefore as i get tetchy about these things - if you know of any that would be great otherwise i am convincing myself my PC has an issue that will require me to format it, which i may do anyway - but hey - you never know.
