bleepYou are getting an early warning of failure. Your hard drive's firmware is remapping your data sectors because the current sectors are going bad/being damaged by the read/write head, or improperly written to by the read/write head. On every sector that fails a parity check, the data is moved to a new unused sector on the drive and that current sector is flagged as unusable. You really can't just make it go away.
If you value your data, it is time to back up the important stuff. If you want to clone this drive to a new drive and continue with the same system/programs/data, do it soon. Once your hard drive runs out of fresh sectors to write to, data loss will ensue.
If it is an older system, or you plan to reinstall the OS anyway, and have your data backed up, let it die and either replace it, or build a new system with a SATA drive. That's the route I took with my old 40gig Maxtor. I just let it die a loud clicking death and used it as an excuse to build a newer system.

so 8 bad sectors are already but there wont be more?Well, that's what, most likely, is reported as "Reallocated sector count" in your first post.
Sometimes, bad sectors have a tendency to spread out, but since those issues were fixed few months ago and now your drive passes the test, I wouldn't worry.
