I have a DataFrame 20.  Occasionally, I will use DiskExpress to examine
the disk.  Sometimes it finds an unreadable block.  I can correct the
problem by reinitializing my disk and then restoring from the backup.
Is there a program that can repair a disk with unreadable blocks?  Is
there a way to identify which file contains the bad block?
