So my HDD is dying violently. One day, I got SMART error on my drive, the next day it told me something was wrong, that chkdsk could fix. After that all went to hell and I lost my file systems and so on.
After all of this I ran another program, which told me I have a hellalot of bad sectors, so I decided to clone my hdd to another one before doing anything else.
Now to the question:
HDD Raw Copy Tool told me the full cloning succeeded, and I got some of my files saved with EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, however, a VERY big portion of the files seems to be corrupted, most likely due to the many bad sectors. Did the cloning software also clone the bad sectors? Can I possibly fix them on my NEW drive, if they were succesfully cloned, if they happened to be logical bad sectors, and not physical?
