[ale] fsck and bad block check?

[Robert L. Harris]

I appear to have a failing laptop drive in my wife's box.  Little 4gigger
in a p200.  I love comparing it against the p2-400's running NT as it
keeps up well, some it out performs.

At anyrate, I appear to have some bad blocks if not a dieing drive.  Any
chance I can do a bad block check with fsck?  

Anyone have a 4Gig or so laptop drive that'll go cheap?

Robert
