Since 0 is failing, I'd guess that what you want is a fresh OS with all
your files on drive 1, toss 0 into the bin and just leave 1 as a lone
master. The above suggestion is IMO the cleanest way to accomplish this.

Should not be necessary if you set drives 1 and 0 to master and slave
respectively. Then again, if you are going to do that either way there
is no harm in having 0 disconnected until the OS on 1 is up and running.
If nothing else you eliminate the risk of deleting drive 0 by mistake,
and if it's failing it is probably good advice to not wear it down more
than strictly necessary.
