Bad Clusters

[Bearleesa]

I am running WIN 95 on an IBM clone and when I turned the machine on, it automatically ran Scandisk and then did a complete surface scan which took several hours. Along the way I encountered over 50 bad clusters and chose to fix them. What can cause this and how can I prevent it from happening again.

these are the main causes.....(correct me if im wrong with any )

but these ways that i just said are my main culprits of disk errors....
