Hey, i've got a 400gb sata hd lying around gathering dust.

I installed it a while ago but it had bad sectors and no warranty so i just left it. Just wondering if i can use it or not? I'm running out of disk space and no more dvd's left.

I remember reading somewhere that when xp formats the drive it isolates the problem?

thanks :)
