How To Remove Bad Sectors Or Bad Clusters From HDD a tutorial for you all

[yordan 10]

You've mentioned "Bad sectors are physical defects on the surface of the hard drive and they can't be erased. The best you can do is identify them and move them to a different physical area of the drive.". My question is that if it is a physical defect e.g. in the form of a scratch, then how can it be moved to a different physical location?

The defect is not moved to another physical location. Simply, the data which should be written on the scratched place, the data are told to be written in another sector of the disk.

First purchase an external USB drive.
Backup all your personal files on the external drive.
Then purchase a brand new internal drive. Get each driver you will need, and add these drivers on the external disk.
Then replace the faulty drive by the new one. Proceed to a fresh install, creating a partition for the operating system.
And then leave all your files on the external drives, get the necessary ones only each time you really need them.

Try PBD(Partition Bad Disk) to isolate bad sectors and fix the bad sector issue. It creates healthy partitions(no bad sectors included in these partitions).
