If it's a bad sector problem, you'd write to sector 17066160 and see if

that the same LBA is reported each time but I've only ever seen this with
both a read error and a UNC error. So I'm not sure it's a bad sector.
What is DID_BAD_TARGET?
I have no experience on how to force a write to a specific sector and
not cause other problems. I suspect that this sector is in the /
partition:
Disk /dev/sda: 240.1 GB, 240057409536 bytes, 468862128 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x0000c89d
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 2099199 1048576 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 2099200 4196351 1048576 82 Linux swap /
Solaris
/dev/sda3 4196352 468862127 232332888 83 Linux
LBA 17066160 would be on sda3.
dd if=/dev/sda skip=17066160 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C
That'll read that sector and display hex and ascii. If you recognize the
contents, it's probably user data. Otherwise, it's file system metadata or
a system binary.
If you get nothing but an I/O error, then it's lost so it doesn't matter
what it is, you can definitely overwrite it.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda seek=17066160 count=1
You really don't want to do that without first finding out what file is using
that block. You will convert a detected I/O error into silent corruption of
that file, and that is a much worse situation.
