OSX on one drive apps on another?

[fatboytim]

Dear Friends,

I have issues with one of my start-up drive. Problem can't be repaired using Disk Utility.

I have another drive that's not currently being used. I was thinking of loading OSX onto the new drive and then trying to fix the other drive. But if it is not possible would it be safe to keep the apps on that drive or because of the issues with the drive would it be unsafe?

Or, is there a quick and easy way around getting all apps onto the new drive without having to install them all again?

I thank you in advance for your help.

If your faulty drive is still accessible, you could try to clone it to another drive. Applications need an operating system to function.
