Hi everybody,

I'm trying to fix the harddrive of a friend: his notebook fell to the ground. Since then 3 big files (around 2GB) are not accessible anymore all other data is perfectly readable!!!

So I did an almost full backup (except for theses 3 files) and now - since the drive is probably not safe anymore - I am trying to clone the whole thing using Acronis.

Problem: since these 3 files are still there, Acronis stops and doesn't finish the job.

So my question: is there a way to mark these files as deleted, although parts of them are not accessible? Just deleting them in the normal GUI way provided by Knoppix did not work. Maybe there's another way?

Thanx very much for your help,
Eddie
