You could try doing this again using ddrescue (google if you need to
install it):

   ddrescue dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdb1/Faulty-RAIDDisk.img  
/mnt/hdb1/Faulty-RAIDDisk.log

Then do it again using -r10 (to increase the retries on the faulty sectors)

   ddrescue -r10 dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdb1/Faulty-RAIDDisk.img  
/mnt/hdb1/Faulty-RAIDDisk.log

This will be much quicker because the log file contains details of the
faulty sectors.
With luck (mucho luck) you may not even lose data.
