Hard drive developed bad sectors. Copied master partition
to new 80GB drive. Set Master partition to 13GB size.
Full system occupying 8GB, leaving 5 GB.
Ran Seagate SeaTools diagnostics, and it failed "File Structure Test"
Their recommendation: do Defrag and Chkdsk.....which I did,
including chkdsk/r.
At end of chkdsk, after it deleted 5 corrupt attribute records,
and inserted 5 news ones, and replaced bad clusters in
\windows\regist~2\{etcetera, chkdsk finished with a message which
flashed by, faster than I could record, something about
"insufficient space ----+?+x bitmap" and then rebooted.
I don't mind it having found things to fix (although I'm not all
that enthusiastic about bad clusters on a fresh-from-stock WD drive),
but what's this "insufficient space" business, and what do I do next?
