You can also right click on the drives and go through tools-error checking.

SCSIraidGURU is correct, In addition to his post chkdsk only checks the Windows System harddrive unless you tell it to scan another drive.

the better way to do this is to right click you drive, select properties, click the tools tab, hit check now and check the scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors box then hit start
it would be also advisable to only run 1 check disc at a time as this can be a very lengthy process
would my c drive be the system drive
and my d drive be the slave drive

this would depend on the fact that your jumper and system settings are correctly configured

chkdsk c:/r should tell you to do it on a restart. Hit y. Then do chkdsk d:/r. This is a repair mode check. I did this method over right clicking the C: and my other partitions. Once its done. Defrag both drives completely.
