I have contacted Western Digital, but I am yet to hear from them. In the 
mean time I want to minimize what ever problems I have since I have to 
run my machine with this drive until they confirm my RMA.

I came across this page on the smartmontools sourceforge page,

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html

Does any one think its worth a try to attempt this?

Thanks for any suggestions.
