re: bad sectors Wednesday, March 2, 2005 at 10:51 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Fed-up (219 messages posted) Jack is almost certainly right. However, after you follow Jack's advice, IF you still find you have enough bad sectors to reduce your available space to only 37G out of an 80G hard drive, DON'T PUT ANY VALUABLE DATA ON THAT DRIVE! Return that thing, FAST! It's got major problems! Mostly likely it got partitioned incorrectly. It's no big deal to correct that.
