Hey,
So my entire hard drive basically went corrupt and after some heavy investigating (including having to deal with a BSOD Display Adapter issue), but I have been able to get my computer back to normal except for this one hard drive. My 80 GB Primary Slave drive (F:), has Bad Sectors acording to the Event Viewer that is available in XP under Administraters Options. Using EasyRecovery Professional 6.03, I was able to get the program to view the NTFS Partion that was orignally setup on the drive and I have been sucessfully able to get files off of the drive.
My question though is while I can go and recover most of the files, from what it appears and put it on a new hard drive, is there any way I can re-mount this bad hard drive in XP? I would still like to use it to screw around with.
At the same time, I would like to be able to pull the current files off of their without using Easy Recovery so until I get the new hard drive I can still use this bad one.
Any ideas on how to do it?

First I suggest you take a look at this
Beginners Guides: Diagnosing Bad Hard Drives
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1583%20&page=3This article includes info about how you can do chkdsk from Windows. Read it out thoroughly before trying it.
If no joy, you could try EasyRecovery. If still no joy, a factory low-level format may be warranted.
Good luck.
