Couple of days back I started hearing funny noises from my HD. Sometimes LM
8 stops and drops me to the prompt advising me run fsck manually.

I am not sure if any precious data exists on the bad blocks. Hop do I mark
the bad blocks so that it will not be used by the file system.

I tried to boot from my LM 8 CD into rescue mode and ran fsck.ext2, now I am
not sure what options to supply to mark/repair the bad blocks, Any advise

Right now most of the time my system boots properly, but sometimes dosen't
boot.

(PS I do smoke near my machine, I am sure that's a problem)

Cheers & Thanks
Sridhar
