With regard to the backup question, the answer is yes... ProSel will allow
you to select the drive/partition to which the backup is to be restored; it
need not be the same drive/partition which was backed up...

A warning though... if the backedup/restored drive/partition was running
under ProSel, you'll have to go in and redo all of your menus to align
the paths to the new partition.  (I go through this about once a quarter
when I realign everything on a stupid whim)

as far as the bad block question goes I cannot help you there.
