Just ran into a problem with my main hard drive 
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
My Setup:
300gb(System)/500gb(Storage)
2GB DDR2 Corsair
8600GT 512mb
Intel C2D E6850 3.0GHZ
I thought that maybe I could just reformat and fix it from what the error I was getting before that was saying that the windows files were broken and I needed to run the repair tool off the Windows CD. I GOOGLE'd the error I got before I reformatted and many people that got that error mentioned that it might be a boot sector problem. I ran the chkdsk with no errors found or anything being repaired.
Error(from Event Viewer):
Event ID - 55
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.
EDIT: My question is how can I fix this problem without buying a new HD for my system drive. Also, my friend mentioned that I might be able to setup my OS to run around/over those bad sectors on the hard drive.
Any help would be much appreciated and THANK YOU ahead of time for any help!
