Default fix bad clusters

When you start getting a lot of bad clusters it's usually
time to get a new hard drive. If the system scan "fixed"
them it just flagged them so the operating system won't
attempt to put data in them. I guess you could get a copy
of SPINRITE to do a thorough check of the drive (which
takes HOURS) but I would advise you to save your data -
all of it - and do it today - and buy a new disk drive,
they're fairly inexpensive these days. Bad clusters are
many times followed by complete disk failure. Use the
time you have to save your data !

Good Luck !
