Yes and no, yes they can be, but from my experience with drives with bad sectors, I ended up getting more, and the drives died or I did not trust them anymore.

If you know the make of your drive, you should be able to download utilities from the manufacture web site, they should include an option to repair the drive.

Go to device manager and see the type of drive:
Right click on My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager>click the + by Disk Drives
