Help! My hardisk becomes a dynamic offline!

Hi all,

I have two harddisk in my PC, one master and one slave. The slave one
becomes "dynamic offline" in the disk manager of my WinXP, but it still
shows that problem disk as "disk 1". I tried to reactive disk but to no
avail. The corresponding error message in the event viewer is

INTERNAL Error - No valid disk belonging to the disk group was found
(C1000096)."

I have searched through the event viewer and I found that the hard disk in
question has a bad block. The hard disk can still be recognised by BIOS (as
shown in the first screen on power-up). What's happened? Just hard disk
having a bad sector will render the whole disk unavailable? Please advise
how can I troubleshoot the problem.
