[tlug] Program to Save / Remap Bad Sectors



I have a 1Tb HDD, formatted in NTFS -- and filled to within 7Gb of max capacity with complete seasons of Doctor Who -- that is getting wonky. I am trying to clone the contents on to an external 2Tb drive which is also NTFS format using a CD-based program (Easus Disk Clone on a UBCD disk was the most recent try). I keep running into bad sectors and stopped copy.

Back in the days when you could cram a huge 800Mb into a full height 5 1/2" Maxtor HDD, there were DOS-based programs that would allow you to fix, move, and, alternatively, remap bad sectors but I can't seem to find anything I can use on a Live CD or boot into using CD or USB memory -- Linux or WIN based. Anyone out there know and recommend a tool for this job? Synaptic finds nothing, nor does a search of The Web. Or am I just asking the wrong questions?
