Warning: CHKDSK/F is dangerous.  Do a normal CHKDSK first and see what
it says.  If you have lost clusters or crosslinked files, you'll be
much better off using NDD instead of CHKDSK/F to fix them.

Anyway, it's more likely your unmovable blocks are from hidden or
readonly files.  E.g., if you use 4DOS, you have hidden DESCRIPT.ION
files all over the place, which SD thinks are unmoveable.  You can use
ATTRIB to un-hide them and then try running SD again.
