Where do I find those SMART values? (sorry for being stupid)
'smartctl -a /dev/hda' or similar. smartctl is usually part of of the
smart-suite package. Looking at a craptop drive here which has been
abused heavily I see:

The last line show says 7 sectors have been reallocated. I did this
deliberately when I got some read errors by noting the location of the
errors (so I could determine which file(s) were affected) and then
writing data over those blocks to force the drive to reallocate.
It's not a perfect solution but it was quick and easy to do and I
don't have to get another craptop drive (assuming things don't get
significantly worse).
Out of sheer curiosity, what kind of 'craptop' drive is this?
