while i'm thinking about this, is there a way to tell which files sit on
a particular disk sector?  something is accessing the bad sector on my
disk over and over again, presumably reading a config file or something;
if i could move that file to another sector things might get better for
me.

thx,
matt

ps i know i should get rid of the disk, or at least reformat and
restore, but i have a lot of big video files on this disk, for which i
have no backup space at the moment, and hwile it wouldn't kill me to
lose them i'd stil lrather not.  anyway appreciate the help as always...
