No! Write as less as possible to the source disk which is faulty! "Copy partition with resize"

Copy Partition help of magic partition manager - Partition Wizard.

Please post screenshot of partition wizard with external disk attached.

Power off completely so disconnect power cord for 30 seconds. Then try again. Disk is very faulty. Backup asap

I hope it works.

I hope it works.

I hope it as well. 2013 starts fine for you grrrrr.
This is a very good lesson for you. Make backups! The question is not IF a disk fails, but WHEN a disk fails. Post partition wizard screenshot when external drive attached

Disk 2 is almost empty. Move/resize the partition on that disk. Make it 100GB smaller for example. A lot of "unallocated space" will appear

Now do Copy Partition help of magic partition manager - Partition Wizard. . Copy "local disk" and "data" to disk2. "copy partition with resize" should be checked! By dragging the handle you can make it smaller. Don't make it too small, so you can put other files on it later. Don't click apply yet.

Post screenshot again when done.

Create as logical, richtig?

logical is fine. Primary are only necessary for boot partitions.

ok here is the pic

Looks fine to me. Maybe change the label the DATBCK and Local DiskBCK (on disk2). Then you know it's a backup.

Press apply, so it starts. I hope it can read the blocks. Normally that takes about 40 minutes to complete.

 

[xenot7]

is this ok (sorry if i keep asking questions, i just want to make sure)

Better you ask everything then being impatient and do the wrong things. All looks fine. You just did instruct Partition Wizard to copy the partitions and resize them and give them another label. The tasks actually starts when pressing apply. So press APPLY

 

[xenot7]

copying data does take a long time.

If copy is succesfull you can later put the partitions back the same way to a good hard drive. Of course first create unallocated space to put the partitions in. Partition Wizard is a great free tool to move/resize partitions. Macrium reflect is a great free backup tool. You can even mount the image it creates as a virtual disk. So you get an extra virtual disk with a drive letter so you can drag and drop files from it (you have readonly access to that virtual drive). Very flexibel and user friendly.

Is copy still running fine?
