A surface test of my hard disk with some partition tools showed one or more bad sectors.
How can I find out exactly which of my files allocated space these bad sectors in the past?
....and which are now corrupted?
I have heard that a "chkdsk" run could repair/exclude these bad sectors...
Obviously the user can check the consistency of a FULL, whole NTFS hard disk by performing a "chkdsk" command and run in addition one of the well known tools (like MiniTool Partition Wizard) a surface test to check whether all sectors of a hard disk are ok.
But what if I don't want to check the...

Assume I have a rather new external (Toshiba) 3TB USB harddisk.
During the last days I experienced a data loss because one of the data blocks on the hard disk seems to get damaged.
I run a surface test with one of these hardidsk management tools like Minitool Partition Wizard.
It shows...
