Paul, when disks start throwing that error it's typically "months"

Put a replacement drive high on your list of things to do. Done soon
enough a "dd" disk copy may salvage your current installation with
minimum headache. Wait very long and you may have grown problems in
critical files.

Even better, if your new drive is larger than the current on would be Clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org/ because you can have it adjust the size of the partition to match the drive instead of having wasted space at the end.
