- Hello!
-
- Welcome to Bad Link readme file. It is not really the doc, but only some
- words about the program. Sorry, I have no time (at this moment) to
- translate whole documentation. Let me write only a few words about the
- program.

- Description
-
- Program searches for BAD LINKS (file keys in headers) on any partition.
- What is it for? To let You make your hard drive valid. If you have some
- problems with validation (eg. "Block nnn out of range"), and all salvage
- programs didn't help you, try this! Just type the block number, which is
- on the requester (on my HD it was 1) and wait some minutes. Now, run the
- QuarterbackTools (or other disk-edit program, but QB is very good for that
- sobject), jump to the blocks, that were found by the BadLink and change
- all bad links to zeros (00000000). If You know what you're doing, can set
- "Block count" and "First file key" to proper value. Now validator should
- do all the work properly. Please note, that only peaple who has a
- practice, should do this work. Wrong use of QBTools can give you more
- problems! Also wait for the new version of BadLink, witch will make all
- the work automaticly, without user help.
-
- Final note
-
- Please send me some messages about this program, and notes about bugs, or
- things that program should do better. You will help me very much! Also
- look for the new version of BadLink with full documentation in English.
