It will not find the bad cluster, although Windows98 tells me I have a bad cluster and even tells me what cluster is bad. I have tried looking at computer related newsgroups. The one program I really liked had a Trojen horse virus attached, so I discarded it. I have looked at www.tucows and a couple other sites and still have not seen what I am looking for. I am sure that someone has written a small utility that will resolve this problem.

Go to any search and type spinrite to get to their homepage. This one might help you, but its not free....its all I can think of ![[Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]](https://www.sundance-communications.com/forum/biggrin.gif) | | | | | Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 1,389 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 1,389 | the questions really, is this bad cluster effecting the functionality of the pc?
