of course if its working just fine with lindows, then i doubt there's anything physically wrong with it, and its prolly just XP being stupid.

It's an old maxtor drive.
This drive mounts automatically when I start lindows, as it turns out. Everything seems to be fine.
If I were to use dd, which options would write the whole drive contents to a new
drive?
Would windows boot from the new drive?

Can you read its contents? Are there any errors when you do that? In many cases, you shouldn't need any fancy vendor utilities to deterine that the drive is fscked. What kind of drive is this?
