You first have to determine *precisely* what is wrong with the drive.
That requires the proprietary information and engineering resources of 
the drive manufacturer, and the knowledge and skills to use them.  The 
practical answer is to buy another drive.

Moving a questionable Linux system image from a broken hard disk drive 
to a working drive will result in a questionable Linux system.  The 
practical answer is to do a fresh install on the working drive.
