Could my drive have too many errors to clone? Help
Not sure what happened. My WD 1tb internal drive started to act up on Monday with no prior symptoms. I posted on a windows forum and found out that some sectors were bad. They told me to make an image of the disc ASAP and get rid of it. I am using my old seagate 250 GB drive in the meantime which works fine. I am running Acronis off of that "good drive"
I finally found an old 1TB USB drive-reformatted it. I was going to clone the D drive (the bad internal one) to the external 1 GB USB drive so when I get my new internal drive tomorrow I could clone it back.
I tried 4 times today. I keep getting an error message. Could my drive be "too bad" to clone? Despite the fact it is bad I can at least get to the main screen and run programs off of it if I choose to boot from it. It's not totally toast.
