If the HDD is make of Samsung or seagate, there is software for download for
fixing the bad sector and restore to original factory settings from the
manufacturers of HDD. It will work for windows and don't know whether it
will work on linux 4 years back, i had problem and was restored to good
condition.

mkfs.ext4 -c
The -c is the option for checking for bad blocks..
For partition use cfdisk /dev/sda (if /dev/sda is the drive you want to
partition.
You can also use fdisk or gparted (graphics)
Hope this helps.

There are some (18) bad sectors in my friends Asus EEE PC 1000HA. Windows
(XP) cannot be loaded, but Ubuntu can be. Is there any way to fix those bad
sectors? I have retrieved all the data, and entirely erased and used the
HDD. How do I partition the single partition (ext4)? Thanks.
