Question: If I am partitioning and formating a hard drive and the message "trying to recover allocation units" comes up followed by rapidly climbint #'s starting at around 790,000, what have I done? Am I in trouble or should I just let it go? Thanks! Hope someone has the answer I've never seen it before.

Fdisk and format is trying to repair bad sectors.Run scandisk afterward to see if it worked. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
