How can i scan the hard disk THOROUGHLY under DOS mode? Is it possible to defrag the hard disk under the same situation too?

type scandisk /? to get the command switches for it in dos, I do vaguely remember there being one for a surface test...but I have had notron utils for ages now and use them instead..
no defrag for dos that I know of these days(there was a version with dos 6.22 or norton 2 or something suitaby old like that I think..)

I am looking for a program to download for free to fix a problem I am having on my 3" hard disk. I can open up one file but not the other one I really need to get into. Someone told me it was a problem with the disk and to ask you for help. I have vital information on this disk and no back up for it. I really need to salvage it. How do I go about doing this? Thank You, Daniel Charatin
