Once a disk begins to fail, i.e. has bad blocks, it is likely that it will continue to fail in the future. With the price of disks being low, we recommend buying a new one if bad blocks are found.
That being said, this command will scan your disk and mark off the bad blocks on it. Only run this on unmounted disks. It takes a LONG time to run.
badblocks -f /dev/hdx
Substitute your actual device.
