How to fix bad sectors

Agreed that mounting it as slave or additional drive on another system is one way to go. Alternative is to get a new drive up and running on the current machine and then dragging data off the old drive as slave/additional. Depends on whether the machine is going to be rebuilt or junked, and whether there is a convienent second system available. The second system method is going to require the data to be transferred twice if the machine is going to be ressurected.
A lot will depend on pinkhouse's level of understanding of how to go about it. I take no stand either way, just provide some alternate solutions.
