No. In addition, you won't want to do that.

No. Maybe you get your formatter to work around the bad blocks, only to
learn after a few days these two were the first two of a whole lot of
bad blocks appearing out of nowhere.

mount -a

A better bet would be to boot with both kernel and fixit floppies.
Mounting the hard disk partitions should be trivial. Backing up will
become tricky, since there are at least two block which cannot be read.
You have to learn which files contain those, then exclude thoise files
from the backup. dump or dd will almost certainly fail, try tar to back
up to a DOS partition.

Anyhow, you really want another hard disk.
