- NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What you end up with is a corrupted file that has
- no indication that it's corrupted! The *ONLY* sort of tool you should use for
- this sort of thing is something that questions you about what to do with the
- bad block! And if you don't fully understand what's going on, you shouldn't
- even try to salvage the file.
