what program can i use to check for bad sectors on a harddisk?
Something much better than manual bad sector hunting exists! It's called S.M.A.R.T. (Any modern (S)ATA HDD features it.)
emerge smartmontools
Allow it in BIOS and start smart demon (rc-update add smartd default).
RTFM smartctl to learn how to (use it)/check results.
