Thanks for helping.
I was using latest Ubuntu LiveCD 'Try Ubuntu' mode to transfer data from two 500GB WD Blue HDDs (the faulty one and another) to a new 1TB WD Green HDD. I was able to transfer all the 600GB of data, during which the system hanged 3 times (all from the other HDD) and I had to manually restart it. Each time only the files which were in progress were being shown as 0 bytes while the rest of the data was all there. The system hangs occurred while transfering a few specific folders which were also completed after the restarts. Is there any chance of the other data being damaged?
I have previously used Ubuntu version 12 to transfer data between drives without any problems. Is this a bug in the Ubuntu version or is my new 1TB HDD faulty?
