Good question. Windows either didn't detect this bad sector or ignored
it or the Linux driver is too rigid. I guess you have the same kernel
error messages as earlier.
To confirm the bad sectors you can run 'badblocks /dev/hda3'. It's a
read-only test.
If the kernel doesn't retry reading these then perhaps it would be useful
to add a new feature to ntfsclone, --retries=<number> that would retry
failed read operations maximum <number> times unless it succeeds.
