This is the second time in two months that I've encountered this problem.  I'm 
running Windows 98.  Last month when I ran Norton Speed Disk, it wouldn't 
defrag my drive because of errors.  Norton Disk Doctor revealed 5 lost clusters 
and asked if I wanted to fix them and back the files up.  I said yes, but it 
would just cycle through that over and over without fixing the errors.  Windows 
Defrag would run, but I was afraid of what might happen when it hit the lost 
clusters that Norton's couldn't fix, so I didn't run it.  I tried to run it and 
fix the error for several days, then left it alone for several days.  A few 
days later I ran Norton's again and it defragged without any errors.
Now Norton's is saying I have 7 lost clusters and it's doing the same thing, 
cycling through over and over and not fixing the errors.  When I open Speed 
Disk, I get an error message that says there's an error in tvdebug.log.  This 
logs contains a bunch of gibberish with a little English here and there and I 
can't tell anything.  

Both times I get messages that my FAT tables don't match.  What should I do?

Thanks!  : )
