  With version 5.0 of SpeedDisk, there is a 'Walk Map' option. If you have a
mouse, just click on the block you want to look at, and a small window will
pop up, showing what files belong to all of the clusters that block
represents. It also tells you if it's fragmented, unfragmented, or
unmovable. If you don't have a mouse, pick the 'Walk Map' option in the
Information menu. You then use the arrow keys to move around, and hit ENTER
to display the information.
