Before doing anything I suggest running a disk imaging app, and set it to
ignore bad sectors (Ghost allows this in its advanced options). Also, I
would do a separate file-by-file disk-to-disk backup. Only then would I try
to effect any kind of repair - been burned too many times in the past to not
do that any more.
