Had a power outage at my house today. Rebooted and checked the smart for each hdd just incase. One of the drives I use had some warning for error sector count. Planning to replace it but it is the secondary which I install my programs on. My is is on my ssd. Can I just copy and paste my drive onto a new one and rename it to the former drive letter or should I uninstall my programs and reinstall onto the new one. Thanks.
