I Need to Repair Hard Disk Bad Sector

Asked By Klein 610 points N/A Posted on - 06/05/2011

I have some important data in my old Maxtor hard disk. Recently I have tried to transfer those data to another hard disk. But in the middle of the copying process suddenly it stops. After failing for couple of times, I tested the hard drive. The test result revealed that I had a bad sector or partition need to replace that hard drive before crushing the full system. But I need to retrieve those data before dumping the drive.

My question is:

1. Is there any software available to repair the bad sector?
2. Can I still use one of the good options of that hard drive?
