WDC cavier - bad sectors

Hi

XP ran chkdsk on my Western Digital 250GB SATA drive on boot and reported
some bad sectors (4?).
I have downloaded the WD lifeguard diagnostic program and this to reports
bad sectors too and gives option to repair them.

Question is can I return this as faulty to WD as its waranted till 2007

Also is it advisable to do repair and see how drive fares, will this affect
its warantee

Any advice appreciated

Hugh
