Hard Disk Checking Utility
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.

Re: Hard Disk Checking Utility
Have you tried unregistering the dll? http://www.free-codecs.com/download/RegShell.htm
I think though in safe mods you should be able to delete it anyway, but its worth a try i guess? Failing that, you could try and delete it in dos.

Re: Hard Disk Checking Utility
Try the suggestion I made in another thread which worked where someone was having difficulty deleting files. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...92&postcount=6

Re: Hard Disk Checking Utility
Thanks for the help guys, i went to try to remove the file again, but this time it let me delete it within normal XP.
This is weird because 1) I tried that before and 2) i then rebooted into safe mode to try and it didnt let me then either.
So 
Still if anyone knows an alternative to disk doctor that would be helpful.
P.s. I would rep you ianathuth, but it needs to be spread...
