Question : Copy drive without copying bad sectors

I am using Ghost 12.0 to copy my entire drive c:/ to a second internal drive (L:/).  There are many bad sectors (52Kb) reported on the c:/ drive that I want to copy (though these have so far not interfered with drive operation) and these bad sectors seem to be copied to the L:/ drive since chkdsk reports the identical number of bad sectors on each drive after completion of the disk copy routine.  The c:/ drive is a Samsung and the L:/ drive is a WD.  I am getting a brand new Samsung drive for a new target drive (L:/) but don't want to end up with large numbers of "bad" sectors on a brand new drive.  I also don't want to go throuigh the process of rebuilding L:/, since that's what Ghost is supposed to avoid.

Answer : Copy drive without copying bad sectors

I found lots of Google references for bad sector reset with NTFS:

The only tools that I have personally used though are PM and SpinRite.
