*** Fdisk is only for partitioning your disk.

*** fsck -V -t ext2 /dev/hd?
or even better
e2fsck -Vcfy -l [file_with_bad_blocks] /dev/hd?
The -l option is for your shop. I'm sure if you show him a listing with
all the bad blocks you found he'll be glad to get rid of you by exchanging
your faulty disk. ;-)
Cheers!
