It depends...
If you are very lucky your old HDD drive may read correctly when pulled from the system and used as a clone source.
It could also be suffering striction, which can sometimes be temporarily overcome by rotating the drive quickly in the horizontal plane while it powers up with the cables connected, then you may get a perfect clone.
If not you may get most of the drive and partitions copied over with only a few bad sectors.
In turn if those sectors occur in an easy to update partition, such as the maps or music partitions, your cloned drive will work.
The HDD has FSC codes for your CIC hardware, so if you completely loose the drive you have to deal with that too.
