Which tool reported the bad sectors?

[Vikram A Punathambekar]

CHKDSK should do that for you.

Cheers, Vıkram.

Completely untrue, a bottle of Bundy Rum and a hammer and I can remove them for you.

RMA. Send the drive back to the manufacturer. Well if it is under warranty that is. You should never see a single bad sector on any drive in made in the last 5 years or so unless it is going very bad. The reason is that drives already automatically remap bad sectors with good ones that they have as spares. So basically if you are seeing any bad sectors it means that all the millions of spare sectors are used up.

Get important data of it ASAP, then either RMA it, or throw it away.

get a can of WD-40 from your local auto parts shop and spray the disk. WD-40 has shown remarkable results ;P
