Or the system crashes or behaves abnormally especially if the drive is the system drive (even if the affected file is not critical to the system) or is on the same channel as the system drive (so while it is trying to read the bad sector it blocks access to the system drive).

If the drive has a bad sector it should report to the system relatively quickly, so I could just run special software that can try to read that sector for the whole day instead of relying on the drive itself.
