Faulty Disk : is it possible to find faulty sectors and tell Windows to stop trying to acces it?

Windows is regularly complaining about a faulty disk, that I should urgently make a backup because it will soon stop from working. I got this message for over a year now, it stopped for few month and now it comes back again. Problem is that it causes blue screen on regular basis too.

Now the faulty disk in question isn't the one where windows is installed on. I wonder if it possible to find the faulty sectors and tell windows to stop from trying to access it without cutting the partition in 2.
