My D: drive keeps having errors. Files become corrupted, and for some reason it often finds problems with "File 25." I have run chkdsk on it in repair mode, but it hasn’t had any effect. Is there any other software that can go through a hard drive and find any problems and fix them more effectively than chkdsk?
This wasn’t happening until I "upgraded" to Windows Vista, so I don’t know for sure this is a hard drive issue and not some weirdness of Vista.

You can always try PerfectDisk which gives you a free 15 day trial. It’s much more thorough too.
Try PC tools software.
If chkdsk can’t fix it, there is most likely a problem with the disk. Have you set both repairs? (data and free space) This often is more effective, if this does not work consider changing the drive. If it fails your data is at risk.
