With nfi use sector numbers, but with fsutil use cluster number. | |

Piriform's Defraggler is excellent for that purpose, in combination with the LBA values of bad sectors provided by HD Sentinel during its scan: point a block on the map and it lists which files are in that area. But the first step should be cloning/imaging, and as Scott Petrack mentioned, it's possible to get a list of files affected by bad sectors by using ddru_ntfsfindbad in combination with ddrescue. | |
