- Description:
-
- This program searches for areas of disc that are marked as used in the map,
- but are not in fact occupied by any files. It then creates a directory of
- dummy files that use these areas. It will then check the hard disc map
- again, and if 'Map good' is reported, will exit. You can then delete these
- files, and the wasted space on the hard disc will be recovered. If the map
- is still inconsistent, it will remove the files again, and your hard disc
- will be left unaltered.
-
- WARNING: A bug has been found in FixDisc which may cause it to go wrong
- on occasions. A fixed version will be available in a few weeks time.
