34 bad blocks, what should I do?

[El Potro]

I ran

sudo badblocks -v /dev/sdb

in an old 8 GB disk, in which I'm intending to install Ubuntu Server.

Found 34 bad blocks, and I don't know exactly what to do next. How do I put the bad blocks apart, so that they won't be used? Should I create the partitions that I'm going to use and format them before/after?

Thank you very much in advance

Replacement hard drives are cheap; a brand new 8gb thumb drive costs less than $10.

I recommend installing your Ubuntu Server on reliable hardware.

I know I should buy a new one, but this is just for fun, it's not something serious. I wouldn't like to spend a cent, just trying to get this ancient machine useful.
