Clone the hard drive with bad sectors
Hi all,
I need your advice, I am thinking about make an image of my old HDD hard drive to put them on another hard drive, so I could 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 because it have bad sectors and I have lost my files due to computer went crash.
When I attempted to scan my files through on the data recovery program, it will take hours to scan my files and I don't want to make it worse that would put the stress on the drive and it get died before I attempt to recover my files.
Do you think it is a good idea if I should make an image of the disk with bad sectors to put them on another disk so I could attempt to recover my files on another drive or do you think if I should send the faulty disk to a professional data recovery company who will do this more easily?
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.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
