With many modern IDE drives, the bad blocks list can potentially vary between
disk power-ups, and usually it dynamically changes while you access the disk.
Most modern drives should be considered dead when you get bad sectors. For
your own good, throw them away ASAP, or get to know smartctl if your drive
supports S.M.A.R.T.
Again, for your own good, either low-level reformat the drive using a decent
tool (smartctl uses drive's own SMART programs, or buy SpinRite
http://www.grc.com).
Cheers, Kuba
