BAD BLOCKS please help

[Mustafa Abbasi]

i recntly started using an old hdd and it has a ton of bad blocks.
now i've manage to isolate the areas with the bad blocks around 11 GB and 
worked around them using LVM.
now i want my 11 GB back.
could someboady tell what to do with these blocks.
how can i use the good space thats available b/w the bad blocks.
and how can i stop them from spreading .
