Skipping Validation
Hello there,
I was trying to clone an encrypted HDD, 640GBs, sector by sector, it has a few bad sectors. After around 15-16 hours the cloning process finished & it said less than 1 minute remaining for a while so after doing some research I found out that it says "less than 1 minute remaining" the whole time during the validation process. So I let it run, I let it ruin for around another 17 hours & nothing, by this time the total time taken was around 34 hours.
At that time I checked the 2TB external HDD that I cloned the original in to & it wasn't even being read, I couldn't feel any movement inside so I just cancelled the whole process after around 34 hours.
Even though the cloning had finished, after cancelling I couldn't mount the new cloned HDD, though when I looked at it through a partitioning software it does show all the partitions.
So I just wanted to know if there's anyway that I could skip the validation after cloning or should I just let the valuation run even a longer time when I try again???
Thanks a lot for taking the time!
Cheers!
