I have explained the following before so i will keep it short.
If IDE drives show bad blocks or whatever, then the section of the disk which
is resurved for compensating bad sectors/blocks is full, (normaly you dont
see bad blocks/sectors on IDE drives because of that fact.)
Now when you start to see bad things showing up then its "normaly" time to
buy a new drive.
Yes i do agree with you further, you can try to prolong the life with
software, however that fact above does remain the same, "possably time to
buy a new drive" and at todays price's why should you risk loseing valuable
data.
Of course thoses are my thoughts.
