To be honest, I wouldn't trust a drive with bad sectors and I'd probably give it up if I could get a new one, but my 286's full height Maxtor has a few bad sectors on it and has done nothing bad since I put it in, so with any luck it isn't getting any worse. That isn't to say it works this way for everyone else. In 9 out of 10 drives I've had, mechanical failure seems to precede bad sectors to the point that the drive completely stops working before any bad sectors even appear, or, they appear once the mechanical failure is well under way to the point I'm replacing the drive anyway.
