She who must be obeyed has a TiVo which I think has a severely failing

I can buy a ready to fit HD from

but a disk copy could be much cheaper.
Can someone on list who knows about disk copying tell me if just the
data is copied and not the bad sectors?
I was thinking of putting the failing drive and a new drive into my PC
and running
dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd bs=1024k
then
mfstool add -x /dev/sdd -r 4
to expand to the new size.
Any advice will be welcomed.

If it's failing and you have the space, dd it to a disk image asap, and
don't use it between now an then...
