I don't think there is a way but you can actually isolate so system will not use them. Bad sectors are just like scratches on a disc.
Low level format will not fix physically damaged harddrive disc plates.

you can't remove bad sectors, but you can isolate them and see if windows will repair them....sometimes a bad sector is a physical error on the disc, sometimes its a data error.....only way to really check is to run chkdisk, right click the drive select the tools tab select check disc and click both boxes, it won't run within the gui so you'll need to reboot, after rebooting it'll run before windows starts, it will give you the results of the scan. If it tells you that there are errors but they could not be repaired that usually means 1 of 2 things, 1 the data that is bad is part of the operating system portion of the hard drive and you may need to reinstall the OS, or the disc has physical errors, in that case...there's nothing you can do except replace the drive.

open 'my computer' , right click the cdrive, choose properties.
switch to the tools tab, choose check now for error checking, choose to fix errors and to scan for bad sectors, the computer will want to restart the operating system, click ok a few times.
the computer will restart and perform the tasks.
it can take a little while - go make a sandwich.
when the pc starts...back up your data(music pictures, downloaded programs and files) grab your Operating system install disk and your other software disks and buy a new harddrive.
if your harddrive has bad sectors...it will get worse.
go get a new hdd and reinstall the OS and your softare and data.

If i am not wrong, bad sectors means the section been broken and u can try to defragmenter the drive. If the software can repair the bad sectors, is OK, but,of the sector can't be repair, that means the section is realy unrepairable.

The solutions indexed right here are too humorous. undesirable sectors are factors on the actual tension that are broken in some way. they'd't be repaired with out sending the tension in to the producer.

Run a **** check from Windows.. If you have Norton, you can do the same.. If all else fails.. reformat your hard drive.. Do that only in the worse of times :)
