Yesterday I turned on my computer and after an extended time (10-20 mins) at the Welcome screen, it booted to a black screen where I was able to move my cursor but nothing else. Today I managed to get it to fully bootup, but opening anything that's slightly intensive or anything that requires Admin causes everything other than the cursor to freeze until I restart. One of the things I did before it started booting to the desktop was disabling all services and drivers and choosing Selective Startup from msconfig. If I change it back to the Normal Startup, the desktop will boot but instantly freeze. I burned a program to a dvd and ran it, and it said that my primary HDD is failing. I just got a secondary HDD recently (I have some files on it already, but it has plenty of space) and now I'm trying to transfer everything from the failing HDD to the secondary one (including the OS) but I haven't figured out a way to do so considering I can't do much from the desktop currently. Not sure if this is possible but any help is appreciate
Another minor issue that I don't know how to fix is that, after I originally disabled all services, msconfig now only lists 7 services and in the task manager all services are disabled but if I try to enable them it either says "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it" or "The operation could not be completed, access is denied".
Also worth noting, I can get into Safe Mode With CMD but I can't get into regular Safe Mode or Safe Mode With Networking.
