What you mean scan? You can just put the drive in another computer as a slave and use windows to do a thorough scan of the drive to mark and of the bad sectors if it has any. Or are you looking for recovery software?

recovery software like something i can use to copy the files off the(windows says the drive is corrupted) but when i use a program called drive scan it can find the files but it costs money to take the files off the hard drive

i need something free that does this
