Quite correct, Nolan.
 
In fact, if you type
 
chkdsk/?
 
(that is slash asterisk after the chkdsk)
 
It will give you a list of switches.
 
And yes, bad sectors will be marked.

Can you not run the program chkdsk?  I'm not sure whether it
marks bad sectors or not, but I suspect it does.
 
I generally run
 
chkdsk /f (fixes errors)
 
I'd be surprised to learn that chkdsk doesn't mark bad
sectors.
