As you said, i've tested the drive:

root@diego:~# badblocks -n -vv /dev/hdc5
attempt to access beyond end of device
16:05: rw=0, want=9671068, limit=9671067
967106456/  9671067
attempt to access beyond end of device
16:05: rw=0, want=9671068, limit=9671067
9671065
attempt to access beyond end of device
16:05: rw=0, want=9671068, limit=9671067
9671066
done
Pass completed, 3 bad blocks found.

This means it's broken?, affected partition is hdc5

This drive is a seagate UDMA 40 GB. My BIOS doesn't
support drives > 8'4 GB, I've to boot from an old 2 GB
seagate IDE drive. This old drive have bad sectors.(It was my fault).
When I used it, the bad blocks message was very different. Shouldn't the
bad block be reported by the IDE driver?. 

Can someone say me if this drive is really broken?. I've bought it a month
ago,
i could try to change it.
