I had a bad sector and used the methods below, 2 days later the drive croaked! RMA'd it today. Bad sector? RMA it!

One needs backups to recover from disk failures, even just uncorrectable
bad sectors.  There must be some tool to map a bad blocks list to the
affected files, but I don't know what it is.

There is some information on this at:
http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/BadBlockHowTo.txt

Also, if you are using software raid 1, you can copy the data for the problem
sectors from the other disk.
