Well, that probably means that the drive has a bad sector in a very
unlucky spot.
I'm sure that's no relief to you, but I was worried for a minute that I
shouldn't use gparted in the future. ;)
I've heard it recommended so often that it can't be so very bad, but I must
admit I would be worried about using it again.

Anne,
What is it with you and drives with the first sector going bad?
This is the second one you have run into is a couple of months!
Did you ever get the data off the one from your friend?
First sector not bad. "hdb" instead of "/dev/hdb" is bad.
