It will mark sectors for whatever drive chkdsk is run for.

would these bad sectors be marked only for the windows drive
or any drive?? &, is it essential to have windows installed
on that drive on which chkdsk has to be run?? meaning, can
it be installed, as an extra drive, be run through chkdsk &
be sure that all the bad sectors are marked &, henceforth,
the data stored on the drive wouldn't get damaged because of
the existing bad sectors?? or that, it wouldn't be copied
into those sectors that are affected??
thanks a lot for your help!!
bye,
bharat.

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.
