transfering the contents of hdd.

i have errors on my hard drive. the bad news is scandisk does not work properly. the good news is i have two hdd. i would like to transfer the contents from the old to the new, and was wondering if this method would fix the problems or simply bring them to the new drive. if at all possible i would like to refrain from eraseing all the content and re instlling the OS. but this is also an option.

thank you for your time!

sincerly
