After I installed FreeBSD 2.0 a few weeks ago, my hard disk crashed a few 
times.  I have to reformat the whole hard disk.  When I used the DOS 
scandisk to scan the hard disk, it found one bad cluster.  In DOS, it 
marks a bad cluster so that DOS doesn't write to that cluster.  But, when 
I reinstall FreeBSD 2.0, the file system is panic and immediately crashes.
Would you give me some advice on how to avoid that bad cluster so that 
FreeBSD doesn't use any bad cluster? Could that bad cluster be some kind 
of virus program?  Please advise.  Thanks a lot.
