My win7 in on an SSD. My HDD (for data) had been working fine for years. After win7 had frozen, I pressed the reset button. When the maching was booting, it took a very long time at "Detect IDE drives...". In Windows, Disk Management could NOT detect my HDD.

I thought that my HDD had crashed. But the BIOS CAN see the HDD! What's more, when I booted from MiniTool Partition Wizard bootable cd, the software could see my HDD partitions and, when I clicked on a partition and selected Explore (How to Explore Partition | MiniTool Partition Wizard Tutorial), I saw my files!

But when I tried to Copy a partition (How to Copy Partition | MiniTool Partition Wizard Tutorial) from the HDD to the SSD (it has unallocated space), the process stoped at 15%. I waited for 15', clicked Cancel, nothing happened and I pressed reset.

1)How can I copy the partition successfully from the HDD? Should I wait more time? How much?
2)Do you think my HDD is health enough to read the data? How can I read the data?

Thanks

I repeated the copy partition process. It went quickly to 23% and then it stopped. The common thing with the first try was that the copy partition bar and the copy data bar were at 46% and 7% respectively:

I ran a surface test with the same tool. It stopped at a disk block for some minutes and it marked the next 2 blocks as errors. And then, 1 more:

I ran a short test in SeaTools for DOS and the result was Failure.
