Running CHKDSK

Is there way check hard disk for errors correctly without fixing anything?
Running CHKDSK in read-only mode often show a false positive for data corruption, i.e. CHKDSK may report that a disk is corrupted even when there is no real corruption present.

show errors:

Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.

I know to verify a volume correctly, the volume must be locked. But CHKDSK only locks the volume when it runs before entering Windows or in Recovery Console with /F or /R is specified. Is there way to check for errors without fixing or repairing anything?

 

There's always the chkdsk utility in BartPE or the Ultimate Boot CD

Awesome tools to have BTW
