Hard drive going bad

I have a user with a older desktop when he boots up it gives him a error that the hard drive is failing I just purchase a new drive but alot of the programs on the old drive I don’t have any more is there a way with ghost I can move all of his programs over to this new drive or is there a way i can move these programs over to the new drive ?? I know I can piggy back them to get the files but I really need the programs
