Maybe your disk is really going bad and you may have more success by
using a tool that can copy files without caring about bad sectors and
such. Maybe you can also create an image of the whole disk and try
to rescue the needed data from the image.
And if the disk is really bad then formatting it doesn't help. You should
buy a new one. Try to read the SMART status of the HD.
