Is it possible to still use a SCSI HD w/ bad sectors on the platter?

[rockshox72]

I have a old SCSI seagate 9GB HD that takes up 2 bays, but it has some corruption on various sectors but probably still have 75% of it still good but i'm unable to format since most of the corruption is as the beginning of the HD. Is there anyway to have NT4.0, W2K, or XP fix those bad sectors and format in NTFS w/ those bad sectors excluded?

It's very much not recommended that you do that. You can use a 3rd party scanner to mark the bad sectors, however more than likely the number of bad sectors is just going to grow. Whatever caused the ones you have now, that's probably not gone away.
