No worries.
With hindsight I should have emphasized "check the disk with smartmon"
first.
And you probably don't need to repartition (or recreate the fs) - just
check with smartmon then (if smartmon doesn't declare imminent disaster)
run badblocks followed by fsck.vfat. If you remember where you are
patched up to with Windoof *and* you get a useful error message about
the files affected by the damaged sectors you can probably use Debian to
copy the correct files back (after you've finished re-writing the
badblocks list) and save yourself a full-reinstall of Windoof. Don't use
system files from the Windoof install CD without checking that they
haven't been updated by one of the patches/updates.
