Bad Sectors

Does anyone here have experience with 'repairing' or in any way  ridding themselves of bad sectors on their drive?

I pirated HDD Regenerator and it WORKS, but it will take weeks before it's done because several thousand sectors are damaged and it does like 1MB/hour. SpinRite doesn't work at all. Is there an alternative method or program?

Yeah, I see, because MS-DOS people have had to run CHKDSK so much that not making one move one's little finger reach the 'I' saves much time.
