Pick up an extremely useful program called "Doctor Ami".  It's a full
memory and disk drive test and recovery system.  What the disk part does
is do a high-level non-destructive format of your hard drive, marking
off bad sectors.  THey have had programs like this on the PC for years
(like Spinrite) but now we have the same for the Amiga - with a memory
tester too!  Btw, it's a commercial program.
