Hi,
My system is all screwed up and when I ran CHKDSK /f it didn't fix these errors.
When I ran just CHKDSK (read only) I got this:
CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the
master file table (MFT) bitmap.
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.

4 KB in bad sectors.

4096 bytes in each allocation unit.

What is this telling me? Is this part of the MBR?
Chkdsk didn't even fix the 4 KB bad sectors.
Have a good day,

That is 1 cluster worth of bad sectors, on the drive. The amount of space that 1 shortcut would occupy. If in fact the drive surface is going away, that drive is not long for this world.
