Should i do a WindowsImageBackup recovery now or after the hard drive has died ? and will i run into any problems ?

i recently got a BSOD from my dying hard drive, it keeps making these grinding noises, and after the BSOD the hard drive was not detected until i restarted the computer about 8 times,
so i presume the problem is the hard drive, i have a secondary harddrive so i was wondering whether or not i should so the image recovery thing now to the second hard drive or do it later after the original hard drive is broken ? ty
