I have 368 KB in bad sectors

I've looked thru the postings in this group and elsewhere and it appears
that this MAY be fixed, but I've seen confusing suggestions

chkdsk/f
chkdsk /f
chkdsk /r
chkdsk/f/r
chkdsk c: /r

what's the difference?

with or w/out a space after chkdsk?
 
HI,

Just run chkdsk /? for help on options available for this command. you will
get full description of all the options available.

Don't do any of the above. Get your data off the sick HD and replace
it - you cannot wish away a dying HD surface via these band-aids.
