Another way is to use the "make_bad_sector" utility that
is included in the source tarball for hdparm-7.7, as follows:
make_bad_sector --readback /dev/sda 474507
Apparently not in the rpm, darnit.

That's okay. It should still be in the SRPM source file.
And it's a tiny download from sourceforge.net:

Mark,
I asked on the SUSE list and was informed by Philipp Thomas of Novell
(cc'ed) that the only mention of make_bad_sector in the hdparm-7.7
source is in a todo list.
Sounds like a useful tool, so I was hoping to encourage suse to
include it with future releases.

Shoot! You are correct, dagnabbit.
I'll have to put out a new release soonish, then.
Cheers
