I must've been more tired than I thought I was (haven't been sleeping 
well) - somehow I *completely* missed this.  Of course if that was easily 
possible, I wouldn't be contemplating how to replace data on a drive 
that's developed some bad sectors.  Out-of-band recovery is the only way 
I'd be able to do that, and that is damned expensive, yes.
