Hi,

I wondered if someone could give me some advice. I am trying to clone my 1tb hard drive to a 1.5tb version. I am using the disc to disc transfer mode in HD Clone (not in Windows mode). The transfer goes fine until its 99% complete but then I get a large and continuos number of read errors until its 100% complete. Hd Clone then attempts to copy the bad sectors but this is taking an incredibly long time. Could anyone please advise me if there is a better way around this? I thought about reducing the sectors read to only go up until when my read errors begin but do not know if this will produce a bad copy of my hard drive.

Thanks for your help,

Nick

I also same fault and ask. one please reply

Copying bad sectors can take a very long time, because the drive's controller mechanism also tries more than once to read the sector, then perhaps there's the driver software with more retries, and finally, HDClone first tries to read the sector in a large block, and then uses smaller and smaller sizes up to single sector read to read a defective sector.

So, for a defective sector HDClone will try up to eight times, this you might have to multiply by the times the drive and the driver will take to read a defective sector.

It might be possible to default automatically to single sector read in this case, but it is not yet possible to force this behavior in current HDClone.

I'd need some more information about the version of HDClone (version and edition) used, the system it is running on (Drive Type, Mainboard model and make) and whether it is HDClone for Windows or the Stand Alone Edition.
