Check bad blocks in disk hda1

badblocks  -v  /dev/hda1

Linux Command to search the Harddisk for bad sectors

sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda

<p class=”intro”>If you have many IDE harddisks connected to the system(but not mounted), this command will find it. This will work for sata HDD as well if you use ’sd’ instead of ‘hd’</p>

<pre><code class=”cli”>
ls /dev/hd*
</code></pre>

<p>Simple, is it not? To find the mounted drives just use the command ‘dh’.</p>
