Second issue: why does a copy operation take up more space?
I have two identical Seagate Barracuda 2 TB drives (1.81 TB usable space). One is failing, so I am trying to get the data off of it onto the other. However, when i try just a simple copy and paste, or move operation, the data winds up being around 2009 GB. What gives? Is there any way to get around this issue? I've tried RichCopy, FastCopy, Windows Backup & Restore, Acronis Disk Director to clone the disk - nothing works. The cloning fails chkdsk I assume because of the failure of the source drive. Help?
