Corrupt sectors of hard drive
#1
[COLOR="Indigo"]Hopefully someone here can assist me with this.

I have an external hard drive which is about 3 years old. Recently I've noticed an increasing number of files that aren't playable. Usually the only thing I can do is delete the offending file--moving it isn't an option. Each time my hard drive reaches one of these corrupt files, it starts knocking.

Is there any way I can reformat the drive and isolate the corrupt areas? I can very easily back up my data so that isn't a problem.

Edit: suppose I should mention it's currently formatted in OS X (a macintosh format)
