hi
I think my hdd has got some serious problem my windows is not booting also
Code:
chkdsk
from repair is not working system hangs with "tick sound"

i wana know how can i check My windows partion for bad sectors from ubuntu

I know that :
Code:
fsck == software/data corruption. 
badblocks == physical damage inspection
but will they inspect my windows partion or linux partion only ? and if it can check then what should be the parameters ?

Resistance is Futile.
For ntfs or for FAT32? For FAT32 you can use dosfsck. Not sure if this works for NTFS. Do unmount the FAT32 partition by typing
Code:
sudo umount /path/to/partition
before exec'ing dosfsck
