My HDD drive has 30 bad sectors, so I have not installed any operating system on my computer. Can I fix this problem using Ubuntu?

Currently I use it with a CD player.

To badblock the disk...

Warning: Do not badblock a SSD (solid state drive)!

Note: bad blocks may be an indication of pending drive failure or data loss. Recommend that you backup important data now!

Boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB, and in terminal...

sudo e2fsck -cck /dev/sda # change sda if need be

See man e2fsck for more info.
