I have a bad HDD in a CentOS install, I was wondering if there are any good tools to try and pull data off, like windows has.

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/sdb1: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/sdb2: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error

I am getting these errors, am I pretty much screwed? haha
 
Restore from backups.

You could try to dd the drive, but once the machine has gotten to this point I'm not sure how successful you will be. Standard dd might not even put up with those errors. There's a forensically sound dd that might, but I've forgotten the name.

EDIT: dcfldd.
 
Try booting from a live cd and using photorec to recovery files.

Clonetool might also be worth a shot.
