That type of user will always try youtube first, open up a drive put grubby paw prints everywhere and then close it up after realising there's nothing they can fix. I should think we all have a "don't open it" webpage, normally found too late.
The trouble with DIY cloning is normally there's no real way to know if you're killing the drive before it's too late - just a thought, could you actively monitor smart health whilst cloning and abort cloning if needed. How you could cope with people who are expecting it to copy from dead heads though is beyond me.

The problem is that one of the selling points for hddsuperclone is the ability to figure out the head pattern and work around a dead head and bad zones, in general. I think that it might just make more sense to post a warning for free users (assuming that paid users already know better), that any use of the software without a proper physical inspection of the hard drive could lead to a fatal head crash.
