Hey deadp00l. First of all I'd recommend that you re-upload the image with the serial number scratched out if the drive is under warranty.
When bad sectors start to occur, this will continue until the drive inevitably dies. Unfortunately it can't be predicted when this is going to happen - it could be days, weeks, months or even years. Some people try to write zeros on the drive to "fix" the bad sectors, but this is never a permanent solution, even if it seems like it worked. You should backup your important data. If the drive is still under warranty I'd suggest that you contact the manufacturer's customer support and ask about RMA. On the other hand, if the drive is out of warranty, then I'd recommend that you get a new one and if you decide to use this one as some sort of secondary storage until it dies - please remember not to write any important data on it, which you can't afford to lose.
Hope that helps.
