I recently used this program to un-scramble a very scrambled partition on my
Megafile 30.  Only problem, was when I told it to reclaim unused clusters, it
also reclaimed a cluster that was marked bad in my FAT.  I had to restore it by
hand using a sector editor (I happened to know what sector it was.)  Are there
any programs out there which don't have this "feature"?
