Hello All,
Reciently one of my users came in and booted their system and their system did some type of rebuild. During this rebuild, Windows found about a dozen files on bad clusters and moved them. To be on the safe side I decided to run a disk check on the hard drive to make sure that there were no problems. This time it only found one file that was on a bad cluster and moved it. About a week later I re-ran disk check and again found one file on a bad cluster.
I have been reading on different forums and many people say that having some bad clusters is normal but it is when you start to get more and more is when you should be worried. Does getting one more bad cluster each time I run check disk qualify as getting worse? Should the check disk come up clean if I had run it only a week before? This system is running Windows 2000 SP3 and is using the FAT 32 file system.
Thanks for any help,
DeeJay
