Saving a bad sector'd HD

I have a Spanned array in Win2k. One of my HD's has a bad sector -- I want to save the array and swap the bad harddrive for a good one. Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

spanned = mirrored or striped? if mirrored, I think you are ok, if striped, un-mark the bad sector through scandisk, then take that hdd out of the array and put it as like secondary master, and copy over to your array. (I think that will work anyways)
 
Spanned is a Win2k Software RAID mode that just tails all my harddrives under one "letter".

I was thinking of getting Ghost and "ghosting" the drive to another, then replacing it hoping Windows won't know -- but Windows always knew when I swapped my motherboard, I'm worried it'll go all Security-ballistic if I try and switch the HD.

it won't notice if you swap the hdd, it notices when you swap mobos because of the specific drivers that are used to interact with windows, I swap out hdd's all the time, no sweat windows is none the wiser.
