HDD have developed bad sectors..I think it's not valid? 5

[rBen]

I have these errors for couple of months now, everytime I start booting up these 2 messages come up:
"One or more of your disk drives may have developed bad sectors. Press any key to run scandisk with surface analysis on these drive..."
then..after hitting a key the next mssg comes up->
"There was an error running Scandisk for Windows, as you many still have errors on your disk. Press any key to continue starting windows"

Then after hitting any key Windows98 loads and has no more problem. I have been getting these errors everytime I boot-up. I feel these are not legitimate errors as I've ran scandisk & norton's disk Dr. without problem. Is there a way around to get rid of these errors so it will not comes up during boot, say using registry or any other method, and how?

I use windows 98 up to date with latest patches, ver. 6.0.2800.1106IS. last patch-Q834707 from MS. I used my computer daily: emails, chatrooms(mirc), IM (yahoo, msn, paltalk, sometimes ICQ, and browsing around like now!

My drive C is 5gb, Drive D is 2gb which i hardly use.
Please help me get rid of these errors.Would appreciate any suggestions to resolve these errors. thanks!

STduc: Yes, I did as U suggested, here is the one that scandisk log showed, & I used notepad to display it.

ScanDisk used the following options: Standard test

Drive Rgr69lore-l (C contained the following errors:

ScanDisk did not find any errors on this drive.

-o0o-

I also ran scandisk at the command line: c:\windows\command\scandisk.exe /checkonly on drive C & D
without any error.
I also ran chkdsk with /f option and won't run as I noted before saying it is recommended to run scandisk instead, a better test for the drive.

So guys..hopefully, this means that my HDD is safe for now but of course I will remember all those suggestions & advice to prolong the life of my HDD, so far so good THANKS again.
