Hi all,
The SMART utility on my hard drive has informed me it is about to fail! (I have checked it with seatools for windows and its confirmed-also scanned for malware).
I have purchased a new hard drive and installed it and then purchased a copy of Norton ghost 15 to copy my operating system to the new drive.
So far it has failed 4 times and I am not sure what to do next!
The first error was-
Error EC8F17B3: Cannot complete copying of (C:\) drive. Error EC8F0409: Cannot copy source drive to destination location. Error EA3905FE: Cluster not allocated. (UMI:V-281-3215-6067)
Details: Source: Norton Ghost
This failed twice, then it seemed to work, when I ticked the ignore bad sectors, two hours later, after 99% copied, it failed again with this error message-
Error EC8F17B3: Cannot complete copying of (C:\) drive. Error EC8F0409: Cannot copy source drive to destination location. Error EA39060B: Wrong run limits. (UMI:V-281-3215-6067)
Details: Source: Norton Ghost
Then I tried again, but it failed in the same way :(
Very disheartened, is it game over? Should I just reinstall the lot?
My drives are sata 2 and my operating system is Vista 64 home.
Thanks for any help in advance!
