Cloning a failed harddrive?
Last response: in Storage
Hey guys,
So recently my harddrive crashed and my only backup is six months old. I have a lot of information on the crashed drive that i want to recover but i am not willing to pay a data recovery service for. The harddrive was reported to have very many bad sectors, I ran a chkdsk /r on it but that failed. I tried booting off the drive after that and it got further into the bootup process but never finished. I have another drive available that is big enough for the crashed drive to be cloned onto but i am not sure if it is possible considering it has "bad sectors" does anyone think they'll be able to help me?
