Info from a manual from one of imaging /backup software discs here (may have the info online also)
Ignore bad sectors (the preset is disabled) - This option is present only for disk and partition backups. It lets you run a backup even if there are bad sectors on the hard disk. Although most disks do not have bad sectors, the possibility that they might occur increases during the course of the hard disk's lifetime. If your hard drive has started making strange noises (for example, it starts making quite loud clicking or grinding noises during operation), such noises may mean that the hard drive is failing. When the hard drive completely fails, you can lose important data, so it is high time to back up the drive as soon as possible. There may be a problem though – the failing hard drive might already have bad sectors. If the Ignore bad sectors check box is left unselected, a backup is aborted in case of read and/or write errors that could occur on the bad sectors. Selecting this box lets you run a backup even if there are bad sectors on the hard disk ensuring that you save as much information from the hard drive as possible.

Start OTL, Right click "Run as Administrator" Under Copy and paste What I have put in the .txt file I have attached, all the way to the bottom ([REBOOT] is the last command line) , It is in the correct line by line layout as it is to be for OTL to understand, what I want it to do. (include the : at the start of :OTL and all the way to the end / bottom) and run the script. (Red Run Fix Button) The output log, should be placed in the C:\_OTL\MovedFiles folder after, to attach back here. Looks like a txt file not a Folder Quads
