Download this ISO, create the CD, read the documentation, and let it run a few loops.
Set the program to repair and conduct a loop test. Let it run at least three times through. I have had a lot of luck recovering drives with this program. (I have no affiliation with them).

It is also a part of the Ultimate Boot CD.

I have used this to recover from bad sectors, really good program. Kinda expensive though, but it works.

check the first response? It is free, but if you insist on a lower quality shareware, I'm sure there is one somewhere. ;-)
