Repair Windows 7

SIW2, Hello, hope you are good. I will install now Macrium, but never work with it, so I need instructions

And I will try to clone J partition.Better clone or image?

@SIW2, so clone entire hdd from laptop or just J partiton on HDD SAVE DATA?

- - - Updated - - -

I finished downloading Macrium Software. I just want to mention, that hdd from laptop is 2.5, and HDD SAVE DATA is 3.5, so I cant put in back in laptop, but I also have other 250 gb 2.5 laptop. Maybe if I clone RAW partion, will work to boot?

Good morning

Hi @sabrina,

Your laptop HDD is dead. Riddled with bad sectors, it did not boot. Imaging or cloning it to another HDD/SSD will not help. Can you bring a dead man alive even if you transplant the heart and brain?? So forget about it.

Cloning or imaging as recommended by Megahertz07 and SIW2 is only for recovering data and not restoring the HDD or its clone to make it bootable. You are only wasting your time and wasting others time!

@jumanji, hello, you said you will help me with diskcheck, or what was the name of that program. Today I will clone partition J with Macrium, how Megahertz07 said, but I dont understand when to create a partition on the HDD save Data, for partition I, like Megahertz07 said in his last post. After can you help me with what you said? And so sorry if I waste your time, isnt my intention to do that

Forget about imaging.
Forget about cloning.
Forget about Total commander.
Forget about Macrium Reflect.
Work on Data recovery.
Now answer this question.
Can you see and access the data in J: next to the RAW partition I: ? Answer yes or no.
If your answer is yes, copy all data in that partition to the 1TB HDD G:

If you have to go to your work, go.

When you return . you will find the instruction set to run TestDisk.

I had already asked you to read through the following threads

WD Elements being read as RAW // Contents readable through app

Restore last data on external HDD - Windows 10 Forums

We will be doing exactly that.

Okay, only data Recovery, which program to use then to recover data from both partition?
Yes, I can acces data from J.
I will go at work, sorry for stress you, I need things from windows, because is for job. I will start copy files from J, but what program is best to use it?

Use Windows explorer. Can you not copy from J: to G: ?

We will as I said use TestDisk to ascertain the status of the RAW Partition I: and try to recover the data if possible. We will know only when we run TestDisk.

I can copy from J to G, thats why I ask if just simple copy/paste or use some program to avoid errors or interruptions when copying

Simple copy will do. But do it in batches. Select only a few files/folders at a time, right click and drag it to G:, release the rightclick and you will get a menu. Choose "copy here" ( Do not click on "Move here"). I know that it is going to take time but that is the safest way. Please note down which files /folders you have selected and copied. If later you find that some haven't been copied, you can copy again. Never do a "Move"
