    What hard drive is it?

    You could try chkdsk/r so that it marks the bad sectors and 'removes' them from the table.

    Norton has "Disk Doctor" as well, which performs surface scans and probably does the same thing.

    Thanks, I ran chkdsk and while it didn't tell me it found anything I don't seem to have any bad sectors anymore.
