Not helpful _now_, but consider making sure you have backups once you
start using the new system. Then, next time this happens, forget
worrying about transferring from a failing drive and just restore your
backup.

If this is a desktop system with room for it, consider buying *two*
drives and mirroring them. That's not a backup (since errors and
mistakes get propagated instantly, and because it's in the same
physical location), but makes situations like this rare (at least, if
you replace as soon as you start seeing errors instead of waiting for a
double failure).
