Yes, I know that, but scandisk fails to fix
some errors. Which is why I'm looking for a
better alternative. I've seen and used fsck
(on Linux) before and I like it. Too bad there
isn't a DJGPP port.

Q: Will there be an fsck port for DJGPP?
   If not, plz explain why.

BTW> You're right. rm didn't cause those
unmovable blocks. I remember I had a Windoze
crash before those things showed up and I was
using (bleagh!) Corel PhotoPaint.Apperently 
it left some files open on the hard disk
which may be the "unmovable" blocks I keep
seeing each time I defrag my disk.

Hot Windows Tip:

How to free up at least 300 MB of hard disk 
space (as seen from the MS-DOS prompt):

C:\>deltree c:\windows
Delete directory "Windows" and all its subdirectories? [yn] y
Deleting Windows...

C:\>

(don't try this at home kids... not unless
you have Linux installation CDs)
