I recently had a bad sector show up on my hard drive (WD 120 gig). I was
thinking about using Symantec Ghost to make a copy of my drive, installing a
new hard drive, and then "Ghosting" back my data onto the new drive. I
noticed when the bad sector was originally found, there was a message saying
that the bad sector was marked and included in the "bad sector list" which
made me wonder if that list would also be copied and moved on to the new
hard drive therefore marking a sector bad on the new hard drive. Would this
happen or would the bad sector get left behind? Thanks.
