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.

Thank you for the answer! I will try to clone the HDD, so I don't have to deal with losing/changing the FSC codes.
