Main problem is that you do not use correct "critical error management" system.
Solution is:
1. in case of bad sector you must know what sector is bad (to log bad sectors)
2. as a result of bad sector reading is not predicable, you should not use this 
sector in forensic examination
3. content of bad sector you should replace by defined "masking" characters 
(eg. "*", NULL, etc.)

If you will have this implemented, all will be foresically correct including 
hash values
