How to recover a free space on my HDD?

Hello
Chkdsk shows that my disk contains 109978316 KB in bad sectors:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is DSK3_VOL1.

WARNING! F parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.

CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
File verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)...
Index verification completed.
CHKDSK is recovering lost files.
CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors (stage 3 of 3)...
Security descriptor verification completed.
CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the
master file table (MFT) bitmap.
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.

244196000 KB total disk space.
41790852 KB in 34737 files.
11192 KB in 2684 indexes.
109978316 KB in bad sectors.
69132 KB in use by the system.
23104 KB occupied by the log file.
92346508 KB available on disk.

4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
61049000 total allocation units on disk.
23086627 allocation units available on disk.
But MHDD shows that my disk does not contain bad blocks at all.
How to recover the free space?

You discussed all this in a previous post but quoted
completely different figures. What's going on?

If you think that your disk has bad clusters then you
should download and run the disk diagnostic tool
that the manufacturer of your disk makes freely available
on his web site. And if you have 109 GBytes of bad
clusters on a 244 GByte disk then it's probably time
to replace the disk. There is no point in trying to
recover them.

Point taken - call me a sucker.

The other thing you can do is, Run disk repair program, re-partition and
format you drive.

The disk is new. The manufacturer of my disk is Samsung. Samsung Hutil hangs
at its disclamer window. MHDD shows that my disk does not contain bad blocks
at all.

Thanks Dixonian69, but chkdsk /r does not help.
