if you have that much bad just buy a new drive for the $90 and cross copy
the data and chuck the old drive into the scrap bin - much more reliable
than attempting to do magnetic fixes when ultimately a dead voice coil or
platter motor will make your drive inacessable.

         Very possibly, I have nearly 361000 bad sectors at last check.  It
was about half that a few months ago, then all of a sudden, about 3 months
ago, I ran Scandisc (usually every sunday after I get off line, along with
AVG and Defrag) and I had double the amount bad.
