How do I do a full format before installing Windows 7 (bad sectors)

So I'm not able to boot into my Windows 7 Ultimate due to bad sectors (ran a check disk from the installation on my USB but it failed on the 5th step which leads me to this conclusion).
All I know is that Windows 7 installation doesn't have a full format option.

At the moment of typing this I'm trying to do a full format with Windows XP setup to map out bad sectors, but for some reason the full format is stuck on 32% (impotant to note I'm doing this with an external hard drive, reason is it's an old one and has only 75 GB so I use it just like any other USB stick, and yes I have previously used it to install Windows).

So what I want help on here is the following:
1. Is there any more efficient way of doing this?
2. What are possible problems with the XP format being stuck on 32%?
3. Even if I succeed with formating through the XP install will the Windows 7 installation still reset the Master File Table (MFT) and use the bad sectors in the Freshly installed Windows 7?

Information I missed to share:
-I'm doing this because I'm not doing well money wise at the moment and this is just a temporary solution and it's important to me because my computer is my main source of fun and I use it day to day for work.
-I know that if a HDD starts going bad it will eventually fail.
-I found this article: Page Start (has multiple pages)
But I'm not too sure if I should experiment that much and have never used those tools before, so I decided to ask for help because I'm afraid of messing up.
-Quick formats did not fix the problem, but I will tell my pet potato to keep trying if necessary.

Sorry for the giant wall of text, any help will be gladly accepted and thank you in advance!

Stay awesome

You can make and use a Partition Wizard Boot CD to do what you want.

A hard drive with bad sectors should be thrown in the trash.

But... any windows install dvd can do a full format.

What you may be talking about is a low level format, which is done at the factory.

If you want to wipe the drive you can run the clean all command using diskpart.
