You do not need to backup the /boot partition, as it is easy to re-create. Once you have a backup of the data, download ether the disk diagnostics from the drive manufacturer's web site of the Ultimate Boot CD from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ and run diagnostics on the drive to see how bad it is. But chances are you are looking at replacing the drive. (Unless relocating bad sectors is turned off on the drive - you may be able to keep using the drive if it is only one bad sector, and it can remap it.) You may also want to see if SMART is turned on for the drive, and see what it reports. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
