I have a pair of seagate 80G SATA drives as RAID-0. I have been getting
drive errors the past few weeks. I have used CHKDSK/f from XP during
boot to scan and repair the drives. My question is, does CHKDSK/f,
during the process mark the bad sectors so the drive will not attempt to
re-use them?

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration

These drives will reallocate the defect sectors on any write or succesful
read unless they have already so many bad sectors that they are dying
anyways.
