Re: repair NTFS: better than chkdsk?

Sprinrite claims to have relocated most of the data in the bad sectors,
but spinrite does not deal with the filesystem. The filesystem is still
corrupt, and several folders cannot be accessed

I made tests by cloning the disc and running chkdsk on the clone, and
was able to recover some more of the files I was still missing.
However, chkdsk did not tell me which files where affected by the bad
sectors, and it gave no clue whether those files can be trusted to be
intact

I was just wondering if there is something better than chkdsk in
dealing with filesystem corruption.
I think back in the days of FAT Norton Disc Doctor could sometimes do a
better job than scandisk, but I don't trust norton nowadays

.
