A screenshot would be way better for us to understand what happens than
vague sentences :)
The missing mtab thing is probably just a warning, and the real problem
is the errors on hd0s1, which you just need to fix by running e2fsck by
hand from the rescue shell.

Bad sectors are really a bad thing. To avoid them, I'd advise to use
a rescue disk to run badblocks and then pass the result to "mke2fs -o
hurd", and then run the installer and make it use the already-formated
volumes instead of reformating them.
