Clone and Recovery Windows and MAC OS

Thread needs solution

Hi there,

I've a mechanically dead 1TB WD External drive, formatted MAC OS filesystem.  Been trying to recover the files, but it is extremely slow process.  takes about 2 hours to copy 200M out from it.

 

Was wondering if i can use the cloning feature in the software and clone it over to a new HDD?

 

I have a new and more powerful Windows machine. can i use the windows machine, and clone the MAC OS filesystem hard drive?

 

Many thanks for the input.

Any Acronis clone operation can fail when the application encounters bad sectors or other file system issues on the drives involved!

There would be no guarantee that the cloned drive would be any better than the source drive, especially if the drive is mechanically faulty.
