My boot in windows is damaged, i've tried several things and every time (even when i'm trying to format with a clean installation of windows 7, repair disc win7 doesn't work either) i try it gets to a black screen only with the mouse arrow. i installed ubuntu 12.04 via usb stick and everything is working fine, apart some bad sectors 22 that ubuntu states - probably the errors are from there. I would like to know if there is any program like chkdsk.exe in windows to search and repair the hdd (i've already tried disc utility but never gets to the end-i wanted more than 10 hours not even the small check and from command prompt aswell)

3Open the disk utility and check the SMART status of the drive. Edit your question to include the count of reallocated and pending sectors reported there. – psusi Jul 12 '12 at 14:54

1You cannot repair bad sectors. The disk is going bad. Anything that claims to "repair" that, only works around the bad sectors by tagging them as unusable. I'd recommend buying a new hard drive, and getting all your important data off the current drive, before more sectors go bad and you lose important data. – dobey Jul 12 '12 at 15:00

There is a very good tool called testdisk.
With testdisk you can see bad sectors, repair them, repair whole hard disk drives and you can restore whole file systems (data restore).
I have tested the tool and can say that it is very good.
