A few months ago I developed some bad sectors, now on other partition i can't complete a full scan disk, defraging this drive often causes the drive to hang and then windows crashes.

I'm in the process of backing everything up, what can i do to be sure it's the drive that is failing before RMAing?
 
I've done that, reinstalled windows and i've completed a full scan disk of the drive which returned no errors. So everything seems ok, and working fine.

Can a low level format fix a drive, or is only a matter of time before it starts playing up again?
