I have a 200GB hdd, formatted past the 127.53GB limit that scandisk can handle. I need a anternate utility (freeware) that does the samething like check the directory structure and all that. I have searched a little bit on google but nothing came up. Maybe someone here knows where I can get one. Ps- I already have an alternate defraggger also- disk keeper lite. This works past the 127.53 limit with the default defragmenter also.

This checks all files including directory structure.Do this before going to bed as it takes 4 hours or more. leave p/c on all might.
