- Several things can make blocks unmovable. Hidden files, such as IO.SYS
- (which should be left alone and hidden), lost clusters, and the file
- used by 4DOS/NDOS (DESCRIPT.ION) for file descriptions all will be shown
- as unmovable. If you wish, you can use the ATTRIB command to remove the
- 'H' attribute. As for lost clusters, you should run the NDD program since
- you have the Norton Utils.
