Hi,
You can't fix bad sectors. If they are there, then eventually the drive
itself will probably fail - they don't get better, only worse. Sometimes the
progression is slow, sometimes very rapid. You can confirm this by
downloading a drive diagnostic from the manufacturer, and running it on the
machine. It will give you a good idea of the condition of the drive.
