Pennsylvania, USA | | I'm using RawCopy 1.2 to try and salvage the data from a failed HD. Old Drive - (D) 80GB single partition. New drive 500gb - 1st partition (R) 80GB, second partition (S) 387GB.
Old drive cannot be read through Windows. Can be seen in Disk Manager as physical and logical however as empty (74GB available).
Originally set old Drive on extra SATA port. No progress achieved. Now have set it in external USB housing.
After about 30 minutes it is at 519 bytes / sec. Progress is Zero. 151 read errors.
Screen shot attached. Can anyone tell me roughly how much time before I see an indicator on the progress bar? The screen shot will show an estimated time till completion of 436438 hours. That is almost 50 years. I'd rather not wait that long ;)
Have set Rawcopy to End of Disk first.
BTW prior I tried using GetDataBackNTFS and it was finding many files however I believe it was getting hung up on the bad areas of the disk hence I thought this product might be better due to the reverse copy feature. Tried GDBNTFS for approx. 12 hours before giving up.
Appreciate any help. |

Pennsylvania, USA | | an addendum to the prior message. The program now shows a time to completion of approx. 3000 hours. Is any of this realistic? Does anyone know how long it should take with a read from a WD800JD = Western Digital 80gb, SATA drive with about 50gb used installed in an external USB Docking station (Thermaltake BlacX) going through a fast computer MoBo M3N72-D, 4gb RAM, to a WD5000AADS - 80gb partition mounted on MoBo SATA controller. I have turned off Virus protection and most other system resources. System resources read to be using between 2% and 4% Mem usage 215mb out of 4GB. RawCopy seems to be using nothing. Read errors still at 151 only. No write errors yet.
I must be doing something wrong as I can't see it as practical to do this with this much time needed (125 days).
Originally I tried it with both drives installed direct to the MoBo but the read did not seem to move at all.
All I am trying to achieve is copying all from the drive to another in order to then work on fixing the problem with the drive via working on the copied drive. Then bring it all onto a new drive. |

Pennsylvania, USA | | | I should have mentioned none of these drives are being used by the system doing the copying. That system has the OS and programs on a completely different 10,000 RPM Raptor Enterprise drive. |

South Australia | | | Sorry for the very late reply - the bad areas of the disk are the only ones that copy slow. Its very hard to say how long its going to take to copy unless you knows exactly what proporition of hte disk is corrupted. If only the end of the disk is bad, once it gets through the bad section of the data the rest of the transfer should fly along! Normally i would say an 80GB hard disk should copy in about an hour depending on the speed for hte drives and the system. It can be a couple of hours longer in very slow systems even for a healthy drive. |
