I have a bad sector on my NTFS HD. I know the sector number range from Spinrite. How do I find out the filename or directory it is storing? This is a cd storage drive with no OS. I can copy everything but the file or directory that has the bad sectors in it to another drive and then just add the data back from the cd to complete the process.
Thank You.

re: NTFS HD sector number to filename.

This is my weaker area which is hardware recovery. As far as I know one of two things happen with bad sectors. Its a critical sector and the drive has to be replaced. Or two windows can skip it and leave it as is. But recovering a bad sector cost huge dollars and in my life time I have never seen it.
