Hi:
After installing Mandrake 7.0, I got the following warning from hdparm:
[root@localhost planck]# hdparm -i /dev/hda

The annoying part is this:
WARNING 23362416 ORPHANED SECTORS :: KERNEL REPORTING ERROR
My computer seems to run fine; there are no crashes and the programs work
OK. I did a standard install. What's going on here?
