Title: Need DOS based HD Cloning tool Post by: Hawkes on June 23, 2008, 03:27:27 PM OK I have a laptop with some very bad sectors on the HD and I can no longer get into Windows. I need to clone the HD to a new HD through either the USB or eSata port. I've tried a few but they all quit at the errors. Any idea of a DOS based program that will allow me to copy the HD via USB or eSata and ignore the errors? Oh and I need it to be free.

Title: Re: Need DOS based HD Cloning tool Post by: Redbear8 on June 23, 2008, 04:29:24 PM I don't know of any that will replicate through the errors. If there are corrupt sectors then the data it would need to fully clone could potentially be bad. I may be mistaken on this, but I just went through this at work, and we lost over a terrabyte of data when we had 2 HDD go out in the same raid pack....

I'm thinking probably someone named another way of saying.... CrimsonSunrise may be able to help you. Just a guess however. Title: Re: Need DOS based HD Cloning tool Post by: Snackcakes on June 23, 2008, 07:29:41 PM http://3d2f.com/tags/disk/clone/dos/
