I don't know how long you have been loosing sectors at this rate, but
however long it is, you have been living on borrowed time. That is usually
an indicator that your drive is about to go belly up. Get a new hard

On the other tentacle, have you opened up the box and re-seated all the
cables, power cords, memory modules and socketed ICs? That could be the
source of this problem.
