(moderation:
My HD is failing and I will be putting a new one in today. I don't want to lose my current work unit if I can help it.
Is there any files I can transfer into the new set up to avoid losing the work or should I just bag it and start new?

There are tools that will take an image of your entire disk, allow you to save the whole disk as 'disk image' file, and/or copy the drive to another drive.
