Well, it depends. I have had a few harddrives with bad blocks, and sometimes its fixable with a format. Other times, you cant fix it with a format, but you will have to use the harddrive software.
Fujitsu (Erase, 33 KB) Maxtor Quantum Samsung (Clearhdd.exe, 11 KB) Seagate (Sgatfmt4) Western Digital (dlgdiag.exe, 192 KB) Bad blocks are usually mis-prints on the harddrive. Other times, the more serious ones are when the magnet strips are bad.

If it went bad, and it went good. There is a good chance that it will go bad again.

Yeh, that can happen cause of a bad magnet strip. I would kinda worry, if I was you. Cause it may be fine now, then next time you turn on the PC, you might see a error, like missing file or something.
