Hey guys,
I have a friend whose hard drive is failing (S.M.A.R.T. shows failure and will not boot to Windows XP). He is concerned about all of his files on that hard drive. I already ordered a new hard drive to replace it for him and to transfer all files over. My question is... how do I make a direct copy to copy from one hard drive to another hard drive without changing anything?
I did a search and came up with a plan. I would like people to tell me if it's safe to do so.
Download BartPE and the plugin ImageDrive XML. Run BartPE with both hard drives in the PC and commence an image copy. Correct? Any problems with this?
Thanks.
