Actually, I had a 20Mb drive that did something like that. The problem only became obvious when the drive was cold so I would pull it out and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours before running ScanDisk on it. Unfortunately later down the track I played around with fdisk wiping them all out. I tried to scan them again but in the end I just gave up, getting a better computer instead.
I'm a big fan of SprinRite from Steve Gibson (the guy behind ShieldsUp security scan and countless security articles). Only problem is it doesn't work on NTFS. Check it out at http://grc.com/spinrite.htm. The Data Recovery features in SpinRite (see http://grc.com/srrecovery.htm) have saved me countless times.
And before anyone asks, No I don't work for Gibson Research, just a big fan of Steve's software
