I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts. The rest are details. Albert Einstien
Luke 23:39-43; "And it also makes me smile to think that there is a grinning ex-con walking the streets of gold that knows more about grace than a thousand theologans. No one else would have given him a prayer, but in the end that is all he had, and in the end that is all it took." -Max Lucado

Sorry if this is asking the obvious, but did you try to run CHKDSK and ask it to fix bad sectors?

I'd run your resident disc checker. On windows:

1. Double click on My Computer.
2. Right click on the HD in question (if unchanged, this may read: Local Disk).
3. Select "Properties."
4. Click the "Tools" tab.
5. CLick "Check Now" under Error-Checking.
6. Check the boxes for "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors."

HIH!
