Hi Fred,
Whether your "bad blocks" means 'bad sectors" If positive, I fail to see
you can get it repaired yourself by re-installation. It is a hardware

Not real safe. Try cp -a, same thing as "cp -dpR" which
means:
-d Preserve Links
-p Preserve file attributes, if possible
-R recursive.
cp -a might be even better -- preserves permissions, etc,
AND does a recursive copy.
