Since your boot-image is not current ...
1. replace dying drive with new drive (get an SSD)
2. restore image
3. reinstall/re-update everything added after the image was made.
4. Make a new image bkup.
Either that, or do a clean install on the replacement drive. I image every time I change/install/update anything important on my rigs. I keep several old images & also keep notes on exactly what changes were made between images - in case I ever need to restore back further in time.
