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!
