When checkdisk detects a bad cluster on your hard drive, it automatically flags the cluster as unusable and your file system will no longer put data there.
This is as close as you can get to actually fixing the bad clusters. Bad clusters are caused by physical damage or defects on the disk itself.
When modern hard disks start showing bad clusters, it should be taken as a sign that the hard disk is dying and should be replaced.
It is not hard to recover your hard drive if you have a back up to your files. If you are willing to spend money you can fix your hard drive by visiting Geek Squad.
Run Scandisk that will fix some of the bad sectors or files. Then run defrag, that will get rid of the spaces between data and make it run faster. If those two progams don't do it then you probably need a new hard drive.

You cant really fix a "hard drive crash". In the data recovery business that term is used to describe a particular problem when the mechanism inside the hard drive "crashes" or scratches the surface of the platters/disks where the data is stored. There are other types of problems that can be corrected when a hard drive fails but this is not one of them. http://www.interdatarecovery.com/index.php/5-steps-to-recovery

The best way to repair a scratched disc is to take it into a specialist. There are also some mixtures that you can whipe on the disk to try and fix it. Most of the mixtures won't completely fix the scratch, just try to cover it.
