hard drive - How to repair bad sectors

I am using hd sentinel to monitor smart status and it reporting that currently 9 sectors are pending that may be reallocate later. I don't know what causes this error but is it possible to repair these errors? My hard disk is a western digital 160gb and i am using it as external drive through a tech-com usb-sata adapter.


And if there isn't any solution for this please tell me a software that can visualize hdd sectors so that i ignore these sectors and make partitions again excluding these 9 bad sectors, cause i observe that disk isn't creating any more bad sectors but these sectors often corrupt my data often


There arn't any more errors of any type in hd sentinel smart monitor and reallocated sectors and event both are "0"


I just want to ignore these sectors and create partitions for regular use no matter if i lose a little space
