Referring to this thread in systems: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2164733/troubleshooting-computer-problem.html#xtor=EPR-8809

I have figured out where the problem lies with my computer, that being my 2TB WD Black Caviar hard drive with a damaged block percentage of 13+ %. (according to HD Tune)

I tried switching the cables and controller slots, but it seems like the Hard drive really is broken.

Is there a way to retrieve all my important documents, pictures and files unto my tertiary hard drive (1 TB WD Green caviar)? Whenever I plug my 2TB Black Caviar to the rest of my rig, everything stops working. I am lucky if the computer boots, and when it does it cannot do anything at all! (It just sits on the dekstop. None of the programs open).

Thank you for your time, and hopefully one of you will know of a way to deal with this issue of mine.
