Well, if you know the LBA address of some of the bad sectors, then you
can find the partition affected and run the procedure on that one only.

I run recently badblocks trying to find the location of some bad blocks

thing occur to him, recently, so maybe you get lucky too. :-)

No, sorry... the concept is news to me.
