short of using the drive makers software (which all drive makers post online) there is nothing you can really do.

while it is possible to use 3rd party software/Hardware to scan/certify a drive. most users do not have access to this.

the drive makers software, will however tell the drive to start it's onboard diagnostics and map out all found bad sectors using spare sectors which are provided on the drive for this purpose
