Hi there.

I would try using Norton Utilities for DOS.

I think version 7.0 has a tool called CALIBRATE to re-calibrate a hard disk.
This is not the same as formatting, but if you can you should still copy any
data you can't afford losing.

As far as I remember this calibration tool is meant to be used if one gets a
message "Sector not found" so I guess this must be the tool for you.

Best of luck.
