I would check out your HD manufacturer's site. Maxtor has a suite of
programs that allowed me to do a Low level format to there factory
specs. I understand that WD also has something similar.
I reduced my number of bad sectors to a (yes I need a new drive)
managable sum, and haven't had any more pop up since :-)
YMMV
PS. Hope you can do a backup.
