I'd second Captain's Jack's post. Since the failing drive is not the OS drive, try disconnecting it and see what happens.
Though with the current price of hard drives, there really is no reason not to get a new one. Here is one the same size: Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
You can't beat the price!
