filesystem for broken hard drive?

[Svein Hallan]

Hi guys!
My hard drive  draw its last breath this morning, leaving me with nothing
but sorrow. When checking, I found that it's the first few sectors that's
damaged, and since I also run DOS on my computer, I've realized that I'm
stuck with big trouble.

My question is: Does Linux currently support a file system which not depend
on those first few sectors? And if so, how am I installing it?

Thanks!
