I had a similar problem before, but to get rid of that problem:
1) Backup your hard drive.

2) Boot from a dos floppy.

3) Use wd_diag.exe to remap all the bad sectors so the end result is that 
you have a hard drive that "appears" defect-free.  Use scandisk.exe to 
verify that it is now defect free.  If not, use wd_diag.exe again.

4) Reinstall or restore from backups.  You should no longer have any more 
hard disk problems.
