Okay guys so my current 500gb harddisk is approx 5 yrs old and I checked it's health with a variety of softwares ,all saying the same pending sector count is current 100,worst 100.
So i have decided to buy a new 1TB harddrive.My question is should I clone everything from my current old harddrive to save a lot of time from installing windows to new softwares or should I just copy important files?
Is cloning safe?Will i get the bad sector problem in my new harddrive if I clone it?
Please answer guys
 
Solution
clone the drive if your system is stable.
the bad sectors should be marked as bad and are off limits to the hard drive.
