Bad Sectors?

Hey,
I have a bunch of bad sectors on a Western Digital 640gb hard drive. Seems like most of the bad sectors are in one place. Odd thing is, the system boots up OK and is still mostly usable. Antivirus and Carbonite hang when they hit the bad sectors, but the system is OK.

I'm using the UBCD4Win , the ultimate boot cd for windows, to try and copy the old disk contents to the new disk that WD sent out to me. I really don't have time to rebuild the OS since i'm right in the middle of the semester.

The problem is, on the C: drive where all the good stuff is, the program, Easeus , can't copy around the bad sectors and gets stuck. Do you guys know a program that will skip the bad sectors and just go go go for whatever it can get off the disk?
