I need some help with a strange hard drive problem.  A friend just
recently installed a 40meg Seagate hd in her ibm clone.  Starting
out it had two bad clusters.  A month ago she began to experience
problems reading a couple of files.  Lo and behold, she had two more
clusters bad (total - 4).  So, yesterday she called and was having
the same type file read error on different files this time.  Yep,
two more bad clusters (total -6).  Anybody have an idea what's going
on here?  Sure seems to be rackin' em up pretty quick, doens't it?
