Clone stuck at 99 percent what to do?

Thread needs solution

Hello all, I am trying to clone my old hard drive that had the Blue screen of death. Fixed it with chkdsk/r can see files, progs etc.. installed new bigger hard drive I'm trying to target. All went well except now it's hung at 99 % for a few hours now, don't know what to do? tried hitting a key, nothing, tried Esc, Ctrl/Alt/Del. Do I try to power down my computer? will I lose my data on my original HD?
It gives me no indication that anything is going on. Has anybody ever experienced this? Any help would be greatly appreciated ;-)

Regards,

Billy

How did it go? You were definitely in a bind. I hope you didn't compromise your original disk or that you had a backup.

It is always advisable to make a full disk backup before doing any deep-in-the-inanards disk work, including cloning. Pushg comes to shove, you have a copy of the disk image in cae anything goes wonky.
