I discovered I have a bad sector on my hard drive
(Acronis True Image couln't create an image) and ran
CHKDSK to fix it. However, on Startup, I get the error
that it "cannot open the volume for direct access."

According to a MS KnowledgeBase article in 8/03, this is
a known problem that MS is researching, but there was no
follow up.

Does anyone know what causes this and what to do? Or is
there another utility that will fix bad sectors on the
hard drive?
