Newly cloned hard drive video garbled
Cloning hard drive at the very end there were bad sectors and I told it to ignore Acronis said it successfully finished but when I boot from the newly cloned drive after post the video is garbled. Any ideas?

Mike - another suggestion, I've encountered too many drives where CHKDSK would NOT resolve the issue. I use Hard Disk Sentential Pro for some HD recovery, drive testing and to monitor the drive health and I also use SpinRite to test and recovery. If your drive has sever issues the test runs can take a LONG time. I just processed a 2TB drive that had a few issues and it ran for 56 hours. I've had some drives with numerous problems and the worst that was repairable took two weeks to run.
I'd suggest that you NEVER put a drive into service before you (1) run Hard Disk Sentential at the "Reinitialize disk surface" level, this will destroy the data on the drive and this is why it is the first step. When it finds bad sectors it will force the drive to mark these sectors unusable. (2) If you want to be super save, also run SpinRite at level 4, it will NOT destroy the data on the drive but it will force the drive to mark bad sectors unusable.
No amount of testing can guarantee that you have a drive that will last years. HDS will monitor and project the life of your drive, this is the best you can do.
Once you have tested/repaired the drive then use TI to recover just the damaged file.
