I was hoping it would pass, but alas. 08/28/2014 seagate barracuda 7200.9 80gb, died after 9 years. May we honor his memory. Well, okay, and served so much. buy ssd. And now the question itself. Disk with windous, formatted accordingly. There is a disk on 1 TB. I want to make an image just in case, if it starts. And then, if necessary, deploy the image to a new disk. I want to switch to ubuntu. Preserved win xp pc. What is (preferably opensource) Under one of the wasps. What should I do with him now?

clonezilla
dd

Clonezilla has a nice enough interface.

I did it .
From normal to SSD and during a running system (the one that was transferred just)!
Everything is perfectly migrated and works.

From under the ubuntu live cd, you can use the dd_rescue utility.
Unlike dd, it can copy "slightly broken" disks - if there is any unreadable sector, dd_rescue will be able to skip such a sector (after pulling out everything that comes out of there).

I would use SYSTEMRESCUECD , or clonezilla . It is better to copy using the ddrescue utility, since when it encounters bad sectors, it tries to read them at a lower speed, unlike dd.
