Hard Drive Recovery Procedure
- step 1: Find a suitable destination hard drive, 40 GB of greater.
- step 2: This drive has some bad sector(s) so that you can use COPYHD.exe from Data Recovery Inc to clone the hard drive.
- step 3: Clone the hard drive ignoring all bad sector(s). If you should reach a bad area (many bad sector(s)) you should skip 10,000 sectors and return to the spot later to refine the image of the hard drive.
- step 4: Once you have completed the cloning process, make a duplicate of the clone for safe keeping.
- step 5: Run Data Recovery Software and pull as much data as possible.
- step 6: If you'r missing certain files, you can continue with cloning the hard drive in the areas you previously skipped due to bad sectors. Set the Retry Option (+/- keys) to 10 and set to reverse cloning (F key will toggle fwd/rev mode).
