Hi guys
I've got a WD 1.5TB Green drive that is failing - it's getting a regular clicking noise.
When I plug it in via an eSATA Icybox I can see what's on the drive and seem to be able to access all the folders except for one which is I assume where the problem is occuring.
Excluding that folder how would you recommend I try and get the data off the rest of the drive?
I've tried a simple copy and paste one folder at a time...it made the directory, copied about 5KB then crashed Explorer.
I'm a bit stuck with this one, it's mainly video files I need to move off it so they are around 1GB each and I'm not having any luck so far, of course I don't want to be using the drive more than I need to in case I make it worse.
OS wise I have:
W7 64bit
Vists 64bit
XP 32bit
I have researched programs that say about booting from DOS but then read elsewhere that a NTFS formatted drive wouldn't be read in DOS so I'm rather stuck!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
