Marking bad sectors

I have a netbook with  a Crucial 64GB SSD in it.  There are some bad 
blocks in the first GB of the drive.  Right now that is freespace. What 
can I use to get them marked as bad?

Having the freespace at the front or a least freespace with bad blocks 
in it seems to be preventing me from install Ubuntu 9.10 on it

Thanks,  Jim
