Question copy failing hard drive

[NerdyNurse88]

How would I go about copying a failing hard drive to a new one? The old drive doesn't have an OS on it, basically just games and pictures. It's a 1TB would like to copy it to a new 2Tb HDD. Any help would be great, thanks!

What errors are you seeing?

If it is already failing, you may have left it too late.

It passes the smart check, it'll disappear from the listed hard drives and makes the computer take longer to boot.
