There is no software/method tat can remove the bad sectors in a HDD forever..The bad sectors are caused due to many reasons like:
Physical damage,Unnecessary Formatting the HDD etc.

Due to this the HDD life decreases and soon there is a time to buy a new HDD.

Cheers n e-peace.......

a full format spots the bad sectors and avoids data gettin written into it

if it is a logical bad sector, then it is corrected by the format

U can also use the Seatools (from segate)... there are several other tools are available for the same..
they either do the 0 fill or mark that sector as bad... by which the OS does not access them for Read or write
