Modern disks handle bad blocks internally, so they are not visible to the operating system (until the disk is almost dead, anyway). There are usually manufacturer tools for looking at it more closely, but by and large, if you know you have bad blocks, it's time to get a new disk. There is a FAQ entry on this, with considerably more information.
