I also have ICD CLEANUP for my BBS hard drives, and it is VERY nice.
It does everything automatically.  All you really need to do is stand
there and click on CONTINUE.

However, it DOES require the ICD Host Adapter, and it DOES cost $29.95
(from ICD).  However, it's worth it.  The last thing I want to deal with
are bad sectors on a BBS HD.

The program does let you get into the nitty-gritty (if you wish).  It's
reconfigurable and gives you quite a few options.
