Data is obviously of no importance. Trash the HDD and get it replaced

There is no way to _reliably_ repair the HDD. It WILL fail.

The only thing you can do really is to make an empty partition where those sectors are located (Calculate the start and end size from bad sector position) and add +1GB of them to start and end of it or increase that size to 5GB if there is a lot of bad sectors there.

Maybe it could live, but don't put too much hope in it.

I did this with 80GB HDD which just toppled - instant damage. Made a 3GB empty partition and it was happy with it. It is a hdd for making and trying different installs of OS - I don't trust it with ANY data. Sad thing is - it was/is still more reliable than Seagate 500GB HDD and 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD ... both died after treating them super-nicely.

so i must make 2 partitions? before bad sectors (one) and after (two) ?
I don`t create one partition without bad sectors?

Check to see if under warrenty and send in for RMA

You can make three - the one that is covering the bad sectors can be left unformatted.
But two is OK as well.

Everyone is right. Not a good idea to use this drive and test your data with it. Sorry
