And you probably don't need to repartition (or recreate the fs) - just check with smartmon then (if smartmon doesn't declare imminent disaster) run badblocks followed by fsck.vfat. If you remember where you are patched up to with Windoof *and* you get a useful error message about the files affected by the damaged sectors you can probably use Debian to copy the correct files back (after you've finished re-writing the badblocks list) and save yourself a full-reinstall of Windoof. Don't use system files from the Windoof install CD without checking that they haven't been updated by one of the patches/updates.
