Blue screen during the cloning
Hi,
English is not my first language but I'm gonna try to make this clear.
My computer is an Asus G552VW-DM269T runing on Windows 10. I'm currently doing a cloning of my internal hard drive (HGST Travelstar 7K1000 HTS721010A9E630) which is quite damaged, but still works. When I start my computer, Windows shows me a message saying S.M.A.R.T Bad : Back Up and Replace and the computer starts normally (just very slow). I've tried to do a ChkDsk to repar it in some way, but it never works (it stops at 14%). So I bought a Crucial MX300 SSD of 525GB and a Sata->Usb device. I have aproximatly 400GB of data on my hard drive. But since I've launched the cloning from my hard drive to the SSD using Arconis True Image HD 2015 and my computer has rebooted, I've only seen the software for 1 minute telling me it was preparing and since then (more than 1 hour) a blue screen with the mouse in the middle and an "FR" icon in the down-right corner. So I don't know if the cloning is working (my guess is that it ain't) and I was thinking that maybe my hard drive is too damaged to be cloned. Is this possible ?
I'd like some insight on what is best for my computer, because I think my hard drive is close from failing totally. Should I wait or reboot and retry ? Or try another cloning/back-up method ?
Thank you.
Thibault
