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. |
