No point keeping one unless you have something to save it on. You can't save it on the old disk, you can't save it on the new disk, what exactly would you save it on?
Look at the value of errxfer during/after transfer. If it's ANYTHING but zero, there were bad sectors on the source disk during transfer.

What kinds of things should I do to check the new disk after I make the data dump?
Depends what it is and what's on it. My expertise is with UNIX systems, not Windows ones. chkdsk may be able to successfully run on the new drive if it couldn't on the old one. Of course, my advice would be to hook it to a system which can mount the parittion and then just recover your data before you get too carried away...

Problem occurs on one Solaris build. Every time we unzip the Jan CPU, there are several patches that error out (appears to be related to the GIF files). When we unzip the CPU on another Solaris build to a network storage area, we can execute without issue on the original machine.
Any ideas?

ntfsfix
NTFSFIX(8) System Manager's Manual NTFSFIX(8)
NAME
ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS
SYNOPSIS
ntfsfix [options] device
DESCRIPTION
ntfsfix is a utility that fixes some common NTFS problems. ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk. It only repairs some fundamental
NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.
You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some other way and it cannot be mounted.
OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts. Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by -
and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
-fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.
-b, --clear-bad-sectors
Clear the list of bad sectors. This is useful after cloning an old disk with bad sectors to a new disk.
-d, --clear-dirty
Clear the volume dirty flag if the volume can be fixed and mounted. If the option is not present or the volume cannot be fixed, the
dirty volume flag is set to request a volume checking at next mount.
-h, --help
Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
-n, --do-nothing
Do not write anything, just show what would have been done.
-V, --version
Show the version number, copyright and license
