Selfscan. You'll lose your data.

You can add the bad sectors to G-list and P-list,or depop the section. Selfscan is a good way but it is very time consuming.

Junior, if you want your drive fixed you have no choice and no free tool to help, it's beyond repair of free tools. Also, this is not the right place for "warez" . Lots of "bad" mean HW problems or internal SS needed to be performed (recalculate ADs) and you can't do without specialized combo HW/SW tools (and knowledge). There's no alternate way, maybe not here. Maybe someone near you can fix your drive for a small price. Just ask.

Regards.
