    is there a check disk utility on the clonezilla live cd that i cant find? fsck and e2fsck do not seem to be included. 

    i ask because i think i have an issue

    i have 50 drives that i need to image.  my concern is bad sectors. if the target HDD has bad sectors, how is clonezilla going to know to write around those dark sectors?

    is this a valid concern?

    Thanks in advance, this community is great, thanks for allll the help.

      Omar,
      They definitely are included in Clonezilla live.
      The reason you can not find is because e2fsck or fsck.ext2 is for root, so its path is on /sbin/. i.e. /sbin/e2fsck or /sbin/fsck.ext2.
      You can become root by running:
      sudo su -
      in the command line prompt.

      Steven.
