Windows Complete PC Backup

[Sam]

Hello!
I'm using windows vista busines edition and I tried to create a backup with
vista's integrated tool. During backup operation an message error occurs:
"new bad cluster were found on source volume". The backup seems to be
successful but windows tell me that some bad clusters are been skipped.
So now, I don't know if I will be able to restore my system with that
backup! Now, I don't want to try restoring system to avoid data loss. Can I
check it anyway?Any advices?
P.s. I have dual boot system: linux ubuntu and vista. I'm using grub
bootloader.
Thanks.
Sam.

Sounds like you need to run CHKDSK /R /F on the source computer (the one
you are trying to back up). Run from Command prompt that you first
right click and select "Run as Administrator" to open

Then delete the old back-up and start again, rather than hold onto a
suspect backup, you one day may need!
