- YIKES!!! If you are getting CROSS LINKED sectors, CHKDSK/F isn't going
- to necessarily fix things! You have a serious problem with either your
- configuration or hardware, that is NOT normal under any circumstance!
- Lost clusters can occasionally result from a program crash or a system
- hang, but if you consistently have cross linked files, you should be
- seriously pursuing a solution, unless this is just a hobby system and
- you don't do any important work with it.
