Coming back to life ..
^^ There is no way you can remove physical bad sectors. Normally if you format / repartition a hard disk, all the bad sectors will be gone.

Now understand what bad sector mean .. Your operating system marks a sector bad if it suspects the data written on it will be lost. So the idea is to mark that sector bad so that no data will be written on it and hence not lost ..

Bad sectors (not physical bad sectors) can come due to abnormal shutdown, bad power management. So if your bad sector comes again after you've formatted the disk, get yourself a new one ..

Once bad sectors have started appearing, even though you can temporarily overcome the problem by marking them by scanning or formatting, the problem is bound to recur and increase and hence the wise option is to replace it.
