Having played continuum on my hard disk with the ram cache on I am worried
that there may be some bad files out there waiting for me to step on them.
I would rather not find them by backing up the disk since this takes forever
and overwrites the backup of the (potentially) damaged files.  Does anyone
have a program which simply reads every file on the disk and checks for
obviously corrupted files??
