A friend gave me a HardDrive that "Crashed", his system(win98, P4 1.6ghz 256mg) was about 6 months old.  He ran into a mobo problem(not sure what it was), and he assumed that it caused bad sectors on the hd(I don't really know). So I said I'd take it and do some research. I ran Scan Disk/Defrag and found a total of 3 bad sectors. I have always wondered if there was something out there that would remove these bad sectors. (figured I'd ask!) It is a 20-GB 5M Ultra ATA Fujitsu IDE U100 Hard Disk.  Is there any way to save this poor drive.(I would like to use it as a back up).
