Hi there!

I'm just starting to use Defraggler.
In my system there are two HDDs with a total of three partitions.
When I'm running "Analyze" on all three partitions I have large areas marked violet. When I click on a violet block, I see that there is always a file in there called $BadClus:$Bad.

If I would not know that the health of my hard disk drives is perfect (I have run several tools) I would really get nervous. I had never problems with the hard disks and Scandisk never reported problems.

Can anybody tell me, how I can get rid of these $BadClus:$Bad blocks?
I just cannot believe that such a large amount of all three drives is currupted, because no other tool proves this.

Best regards!
RobinSword
