HDD failing, need to clone for replacement HDD - Tips needed
Hello,
HDD - WD 7500BPKX model.
My 6 month WD - Black Drive all of a sudden started to fail. Got Win-7 error dialog box that an error has occurred and I need to back up data before HDD fails (something like that, not exact words). Intel SMART also fails.
Now I get only SMART failure and I go to Intel Rapid Storage and set the HDD to normal.
Called WD who are sending in a replacement.
I used Kari's tutorial to set my User Profile on another partition while installing Win-7
So System is on C:\;
VMs on D:\
User profiles to E:\.
Most important Data on F:\
I am trying to figure out the best way to clone this HDD to the new one that I'll be receiving shortly.
Any pointers/guidance would be highly appreciated.
