----------------------------Original message----------------------------
In our computer labs, I often find lost clusters and file allocation
errors on the hard drives.  When I save these lost clusters then view
them, they are often Windows files (ini files or such).  It is strictly
speculation but I "think" the problem is caused by students not properly
exiting their Windows applications and the Windows program properly.
Or, the computer will "hang" inside Windows and your only choice is to reboot.

When this happens and lost clusters are found, I deltree the entire
Windows subdirectory and reload it off the network to the hard drive.
