Hi all,
I need your advice, I am thinking about clone my old HDD hard drive with bad sectors to put them on another hard drive to recover my files on another drive. I don't have any problem with accessing the drive, but I am having a problem with accessing my files through on the data recovery program as I have lost my files due to crashes from the OS.
When I attempted to scan my files through on the data recovery program, it will take hours to scan my files and I dont want to make it worse when the drive have bad sectors. I guess the old hard drive is on the way out sooner or later.
Do you think is it good idea to clone the hard drive with bad sectors and put them on another hard drive so I could recover my files on another drive without send the hard drive to the professional??
Would it make it worse if I attempt to do this?
I hope it will give you an idea with what I am trying to do to save my money without send the drive to a professional data recovery company.
