EZ Gig IV cloning problem - ideas?
Samsung laptop has a hard drive that seems to be going bad - HN-M750MBB - and I am replacing it with a Sandisk 500gb SSD. I'm using EZ GigIV to clone the drive via a USB3 dongle.
The Sammy hard drive has 4 sectors that report as bad and from time to time they slow the whole laptop to sub-glacial speeds. Instead of waiting for the whole shebang to fail completely, I'm putting in a new drive before school starts again (daughter's lappy).
So here is the problem ... the clone is stuck on those bad sectors, a mere 5% of the way into the job! It is not reporting any errors but is has spent the last 3 hrs trying to get beyond 206,847.
Any suggestions on how to skip those parts of the disk?
