Hit it with Spinrite. It works at a very low level and will identify
all the bad sectors and try and move data off them, then flag them bad
so the HD won't use them again.
I don't know if that will tell you what file the sector belongs to but
it should fix the problem.

Due to the recent question about Smart, where I said his
drive was in better condition than mine (IIRC),
I checked my HD with Seagate "Windows tester".
It failed, and refered me to SeagateTools (DOS).
I had known "Smart" had a sector it was "sort of"
going to get around to re-allocating... (And 5 it "had"...)
The Seagate utility told me which one is bad now and offered
to "fix it", meaning (by their specific definition) "erase it and
replace it" -- with a blank one... I "passed" on that offer, for now.
It said the sector is LBA 45,077,086.
Device is 48 Bit Addressed - Max LBA 390,721,968
("C"), starts at "63" and ends at "61,432,560"
so it seem like it is on the "system boot" partition...
I realize the file is likely toasted, but I "hate" utilities
that find stuff and then fix it "anonymously"...
Is there a way to find out what file that sector belongs to?
Would Acronis TI(9) or Ghost "give it up" during an image
creation? (I'm thinking both would fail...)
It is a (200G)- 186.31G (all)-NTFS drive running WinXP-Pro.
There are three partitions,
29.29G,
78.13G,
78.89G
