If you know at what point , percentage-wise, the bad sectors are on your drive,
you could partition it in half ( make 2 partitions - equal size ) ,
then skip the half that has the bad sectors, and run mkswap /dev/hdXx ,
and then swapon /dev/hdXx on the good half..
( hdXx = your drive - possibly hda1 or hda2 )
That would give some swap , and a little more use out of the drive before
it fails completely.. Usually, when they start to go, they go quickly...
