Cloning a dying/corrupted drive

If I'm trying to clone a drive that has problems with a program like SuperDuper, won't I just be cloning the corrupted files as well?


Power Mac G4 1.25 GHz mirrored doors
3 GB Memory
OSX 10.5.?

If you have corrupted files, permissions etc then yes.
It's best to try to repair the disk or its contents as much possible before cloning or copying its contents.
