Please, don't trust a drive with bad blocks anyway. It's a disaster waiting to happen. As soon as a drive starts to act up in any way, bad blocks, errors, vibration, noise, then its not trustworthy and needs replaced. Bad blocks have a habit of breeding until they're all over the place. Any data you put on a bad drive is probably doomed.
