I've had disks with bad blocks before, and the messages you've copied
don't look like that's the problem.  It's more likely that you have an
unusable disk.  You could try checking that its cables are fully attached.  
The manufacturer may supply software for testing it.  For example, if the
disk came from IBM, you can copy their "Drive Fitness Test" from the web
to a bootable diskette.
