The TiVo image will not work around bad blocks, and it's generally a bad idea to start with a drive that has know errors, as the drive in a TiVo is reading and writing 24 hours a day much more punishing than a PC.
New drives are cheap, just buy a new one.
That all said you may still be having an issue imaging the drive due to the PC, there are certain chipsets that just don't seem to work with our current version of knoppix. Try an older PC if you can.
