Are there any tools (Linux programs run from Live CD's) available that will check for & _repair_ (or re-allocate automatically) bad sectors ?
Not exactly. However, you can use the "-c" option in e2fsck for ext2/3. This will invoke "badblocks" automatically and use the info to mark the blocks that are bad. For dosfsck, try the "-t" option. Please read the manpages. Charles -- The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first. (Arno Schaefer's .sig)
