Per the new member instructions... There is no important or non recoverable data on the drive. It's my boot drive. Windows 7 home premium. It fails the smart test. I downloaded Seatools and ran the DST and short generic tests. Both passed. The Seagate website says if it fails smart it's dying. I have a second drive in the system with no data on it. I would like to clone the failing drive to the other drive, remove the bad drive, and be up and running. Is this possible??
Thanks for any help.

Yes it is possible, clone the drive, but don't go for fancy software they all fail on bad drives, try disk patch and do reverse imaging, or may be a Guru will advise you the best software to use.
