Uriel, I think Bob Coffman was referring to S.M.A.R.T. (which stands for
"Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology") hard drive utilities.
Google for the terms

        S.M.A.R.T. hard drive Linux utilities

and you will find a bunch of stuff. Not sure which, if any of them, are on
the Clonezilla distro.

If you only have a few bad blocks, you can rescan your drive and rebuild
it with a new bad block list. But if you have bad blocks, you seriously
want to think about replacing your hard drive.

HTH,
