Bad Hardrive...

"Bad Hardrive!!!" *Q wags finger at his laptop!*
"Now sit and behave..." B-)

Hi all,

I have a hard drive with a few little bad blocks on them...

...how do I tell Linux that these blocks are bad and it shouldn't write data 
to them (kinda like marking Bad Blocks in WinBlows Scandisk)?


I know this is kinda a newbie question... ...but hey, you are never too 
old/young to learn something new. B-)


Thanks
Q
