Need read/write surface scan to remap the sector

This is the results of a test and what I need to repair it. If anyone has information that may help me I'd appreciate it very much.

Your hard disk is a ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB with firmware 2BA30001.

The average temperature for this hard disk model is 39°C (min=27°C max=53°C) and yours is 37°C.

All the attributes of your hard disk are above the S.M.A.R.T. thresholds set by the manufacturer. This is good.

BLOCKING ISSUE : your hard disk has 6 pending sectors. Those are sectors that couldn't be properly read and that the hard disk logic is waiting for a write operation to try to remap to a spare sector (if available). According to the Reallocated Sector Count attribute, your hard disk seems to have available spare sectors. A simple disk surface scan won't be enough to force the remap operation. You need a read/write surface scan to remap the sector. The best option should be a tool that knows about what should be read from that sector so that it has some option to apply the best fix to the missing data.

NOTE : your hard disk Power Cycle Count attribute current value (98) is below the normal range (100 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was power cycled more times than the maximum number the average hard disk was. Power cycles put some stress on the hard disk mechanic. Sometimes power cycles can be caused by a loose hard disk power connector. Make sure it is properly fastened.

The overall fitness for this drive is 0%.

The overall performance for this drive is 20%.

Thank you!

In case anyone is still watching, I have the exact same problem only I have just 1 pending sector.  I'd like to know which tool(s) are used for this kind of problem.
