Preparing for linux / Scandisk question

I want to prepare a laptop hard drive for linux, but it has a clump of bad
clusters towards the end. Sometimes these bad clusters are just "slow" and
it takes a real long time to read from them. Windows Scandisk might not
think that 10 seconds to read 50k is a long time, but I do. Are there any
programs out there where you can set the threshold for bad sector detection?

I'd like to fix these problems and get on with it.
