I am not advising you to do this, I was just trying to explain one way that files can get damaged.
What you have I have had myself. I just reimported the file from the original disc to cure it. I don't know any other way to cure spotty graphics other than if you have a good copy on another drive like the person who started this thread.

I never saw a reason to do anything to my external drive, since it is only used for storage (nothing ever gets changed, only added to). And the files I'm referring to are those I imported from my original disks. The only thing I did, was move the files from a 160G hd to a 500G hd. And only some of those files now show spots that were not there originally - and I have never felt the need to rebuild or rescan when I update Hoster. I did that once several years ago & found too many files left out because the Book ID got changed because I used to import with my desk top & transfer. So, I never did that again. (Sorry I got off topic.)
