How do I run scan for bad sectors first?

I have a drive D: with perhaps millions of bad "file segments." When I run
chkdsk /f /r d: from the command prompt, it always starts by verifying the
file system, and reports, forever to the end of time, that there are
unreadable file segments. I need to bypass this portion of chkdsk and go
straight to the search for and repair of bad sectors, as I think this will
help solve the problem. The file system check could run afterwords - or is
this a bad idea?
I have tried using the check boxes on drive D to no avail. I get an error
message that chkdsk cannot complete, but no option to request one on startup.
Any help here would be appreciated.
