Before doing a low level destructive format, you might try SpinRrite
II and Norton's Disk Doctor or Mace's Emeregency Room.  Spinrite II
will do a non-destructive low level format and optimise your
interleave factor.  These are all short termed fixes.  If you run
critical applications, you should get rid of the drive.

Good luck,

BiLL.....
