My hard disk was partially damaged and everytime I turned my computer on, the SMART tool said that
the hard disk was almost at the brink of failure, but let me boot anyways.
I have Windows 7.
I used the Acronis true image to clone my SATA Hitachi hard disk of 1 TB to another Western Digital SATA hard disk of the same size.
It has been cloning now for almost a week and when Acronis inquired me about damaged sectors a few days ago, I told it to disregard them.
The ongoing process keeps on updating messages every few hours changing from several hours to several minutes and back to hours. Now it seems that the time lapses keep on shortening.
Should I stop it or let it finish even if the process has taken more than a week?.
Forgot to mention that I run the Checkdisk windows tool before starting to clone.
Thank you very much.
