Hello, good day.

I have a question which I am not sure of  the outcome.  I just like to ask
if anyone had done this.  I have a P4 machine, 40GB HD, 256MB ram running on
WinXP Pro.  Originally, this computer was in my cousin's house wayback
around 3-4 years ago.  I brought the PC with me and lately, I'm experiencing
some slight problems.  The PC runs like its "crawling", just when microsoft
word is the only application running.  I even spotted at one time during its
check disk diagnostics that it has 32KB in BAD SECTORS.  So I'm thinking of
replacing the hard disk.  My question would then be, if I will use
Microsoft's mirroring funtionality with a new hard drive, will it also
"mirror" the 32 KB of bad sectors of my old hard disk?  Hoping for some
insights, thank you!!!
