Bad clusters - are areas of damage on a computers hard-drive. during a diagnostic scan, it's possible to 'mark' these bad clusters, so that the computer bypasses them when it needs to write information onto the disk.

How do you fix bad clusters on your hard drive?

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.
