Does it actually say "failed", or is it just hanging? Mine (also 250GB) took about an hour and often spent a very long time at certain percentages. Are you running 3rd party AHCI drivers? If so, try reverting back to Microsoft drivers. If all else fails, you always can use the 3rd party tool, DiskFresh (http://www.puransoftware.com/DiskFresh.html), which does the exact same thing as the official Restoration Tool (i.e. rewrite every sector on your drive).



Yes it actually said failed , it did not just hang
