is there still a bug in win 7 with chkdsk /r?
i had run an instance of hard disk sentinel and it showed the drive i use as storage as having bad sectors.
i ran chkdsk /f /r and opened task manager just to see what memory usage would be. physical memory usage peaked at 7.25 gb and leveled off at 7.06 gb. i wondered why so much memory was being used, so i googled "how much ram does chkdsk use," and found these articles:

Blue Screen of Death returns to haunt Windows 7’s public release | VentureBeat
Windows 7 chkdsk memory leak?
the dates on these articles are june, august and september... i was wondering if this is still a concern for the retail versions of win 7 (obviously, the ram usage is still an issue, but does anyone have experience using the retail version running chkdsk /r and having your system crash?)
(while googling, i ran across a tutorial from vista forums about running chkdsk--so for now, i'm going to run chkdsk from my installation disc)
