Here is an interesting page on how to do HD surface scans on GNU/Linux:

I am currently downloading its recommended rescue-cd to use for performing the check on my 
system's *unmounted* partitions.

(syntax: e2fsck -c -c -C /dev/hda1 on unmounted partitions)


I would like a SL rescue CD though. :-)


Some other rescue CDs that may be of use:

I will perform the surface scans and let you know of the results (if it worked indeed).
