three quaters of the way through scandisk (with the scanning of bad sectors option checked) been 5ish hours since l started but its not thrown off any problems yet.
tbh l think it was a file system problem caused my original issues partitioning the drive, the reason lve came to this conclusion is 1) windows isnt telling me l need to scan the drive any more and 2) l could actually finish running scandisk without it becoming unresponsive and 3) partition wizard picked nothing up on its scans, it picked up quite a few errors when it originally checked.
