There are many other conditions that would cause your system to freeze, you would have to follow a process of elimination B4 you put the blame on bad sectors. I would bet that your problem IS NOT bad sectors.

He's already stated that the drive has bad sectors- if the page file is attempting to write to the bad sectors it will cause lock-ups/freezes/crashes.
If the drive only reappears when you give it a gentle tap with your finger then it is shot.
To disable block transfer mode and 32bit disk access mode you need 2 enter bios. Most newer boards have the option of disabling block transfer mode- you just need to search through the bios settings screens to find it. Disabling 32bit disk access usually only appears on server boards afaik- i have a tyan tiger 2460 that will lose windows XP if i even attempt to run it with these options enabled
Threaded Mode
