tools to mark or recover bad sectors

I have a serious problem with a hard disk. After several power failures while using fsck, the disk finally got damaged. I need to recover or mark the bad sector so I can at least mount it and save user data. Is there some tool to do this? i cant find in the man pages how to use fsck to mark bad sectors. The file system is ext3.

Knoppix has tools and instructions on how to do exactly that.
