Dear Friends,
I noticed that I could not create free space on my hd, so I did a complete chkdsk /f/r. I still have 4 kb on a bad sector, which prevents me from using any partitioning tools.
The prevailing opinion seems to be that once the system sees a bad sector, it is time for the requiem.
58605088 KB total disk space.
6201748 KB in 26325 files.
11092 KB in 2190 indexes.
4 KB in bad sectors.
109480 KB in use by the system.
65536 KB occupied by the log file.
52282764 KB available on disk.
4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
14651272 total allocation units on disk.
13070691 allocation units available on disk.
running chkdsk f/r then results in a change, which, upon reboot, and rechecking results in the deletion of a map and object.
Qtparted is more bleak - it will not resize because it says that there is a bad secotr and it is either a manufaturing flaw, or my disk is dying. Unix cheer, as usual, but if there is hope, can someone please let me know.
Partition magic returns a 1652 error, bad sectors, and requires running chkdsk in /f/r, and we are full circle.
Best,
Martin
