I don't feel like arguing tonight...

This is the program I was refering to. It's a bit of a pain to use because all info must be entered manually(unless you do happen to have one of the pre-entered seagate drives) but I know it works. Do this, then a regular format. Typically, this will correct the bad sectors, but it is not guaranteed.
