    PC Stuck in BIOS loop after Windows 10 Reset

    Sorry for making you guys read that wall of text, because I think I've fixed it. Windows was, for some reason, trying to reinstall onto the recovery drive rather than the SSD.

    Failing to clone drive - MFT Error

    Chkdsk finally fixed the MFT issue, however the cloning still fails with the read and permission errors, and all the cloned data is corrupt. Currently I'm copying the files over via Windows Explorer as suggested, and it seems to be okay.

    Failing to clone drive - MFT Error

    Last week my 5yr-old hard drive starting failing (disconnected from the BIOS completely a couple of times, even after cable changes, then reconnecting on its own after a few reboots. I bought a new one and have tried to use Macruim Reflect to clone the old hard drive, however it fails with the...
