How to map out bad sectors

What's the best way/prog to map out a few bad sectors so that I can make one
more backup before replacing the drive?

Ghost is reporting "Read sector failure, result = 1, drive = 0, sectors
49262215 to 49262279" and then aborts the backup. Ran it twice with similar
results.

Thanks.

Colin

You can tell ghost to ignore bads.

If you're using a real copy of Ghost (derived from the Binary Research
root) as opposed to the renamed Drive Image one, then you could just use
the -FRO command line switch to force it to ignore bad clusters.

You should use software that is able to ignore bad sectors instead.
dd_rescue may be an option.

Thanks Rod and Michael,

I'm using the original Ghost and will give it a go tonight. My next problem
will be finding out what files are effected by these corrupt sectors. It
dosent seem to be anything too critical but I guess you never know.

Regards

Colin
