What command-prompt command do you use to determine if a drive has bad sectors?

The answer is chkdsk /r. This command will track down bad sectors on the drive and recuperate readable information. If it finds bad sectors it quarantines them as unreadable so they aren't used again. When this is used it automatically uses /f as well.
