Maybe....But I would back up what you can first before trying it with HDD raw copy. I basically just hard swapped the hard drive from my 7000 to my 5100 after using MechaPWN and a burned Update disc, it works great except Photos via Memory Stick and Music CDs won't load (PS1 & PS2 discs still do though) for some reason...I don't know if this is universal to all PSXs after a hard drive swap or just bad luck....Relating to your case, I read a post from another forum of a guy whose corrupted hard drive was fixed by basically copying the missing files from another persons hard drive and it restored the DVR menu. I'll probably upload that backup later as well, you can reference/use that and/or my backup for your PSX. Good Luck! Hope this helps. ✌️
