I'd try another one before hammering the drive.
Note that an image copy is unlikely to boot, since the GRUB config thinks it's supposed to boot from HD0, not SD0. I think you will be best off doing a fresh install to a SATA drive, and then copying the files off the IDE drive using an external USB->IDE adapter. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
