I did an upgrade from my 160Gb drive to a new 500Gb using the new MFSLive, but there apparently is a bad sector on the 160Gb disk that was encountered during the backup and restore/expansion. Turns out it falls in MFS Applications. Despite the transfer error, the new disk booted fine and ran for about 2 hours before giving the GSOD error. I was wondering if the backup alternates of zipper would correct the MFS Applications, essentially overwriting or inserting whatever did not transfer during the upgrade.
Will backup/restore in Zipper correct a bad disk sector?

the backup alteratives only help when the bad sector(s) are in non-critical areas.
If yours is in a critical area, your options are, unfortunately, limited and require much more work and knowledge. (and probably involve extraction, making this the wrong place to discuss them
