find bad spots, then map them out some how?

I have an A2500 with A2090(a). One partition on the disk has a bad
spot somewhere. I used DiskSalv to get all the files off it and then did an
AmigaDOS FORMAT which returned with a (very informative) error:

	Error during Formatting

I'd like to get some utility to find and map out bad spots to save me
from backing up the rest of the 100MB's on the physical disk to do a 
SCSI level format...
