Earlier this evening, when running a "chkdsk b:*.*", I got the
wonderful and mysterious message:
   1 lost cluster found in 1 chain -- 
    Convert lost chains to files?

What does this mean? The chkdsk went on to say that the disk itself
had all sorts of file system errors .. Can one recover from this 
"lost cluster condition" without reformatting the disk?

Many thanks..
