As has been pointed out it can be troublesome to handle half-broken
disks. And its difficult to test. I'd just boot from an USB memory
stick (or a CF card + USB reader, something I use). That way the possible
failure of moving parts in your system gets separated from the boot
process itself. And its easier to test.
