Hi everyone, yesterday I dropped my laptop and it didn’t want to turn back on. I immediately removed the hard drive, replaced it with a completely new one and installed the latest version of Ubuntu on it. Everything was working perfectly so the only damaged part of hardware was the hard drive. I then proceeded to plug it in my laptop as an external hard drive using a USB cable and Ubuntu detected it but a message saying that the disk is likely to fail soon popped up. When checking the content of the disc, it was basically intact. Thankfully, all the precious informations I need are stored in a specific folder (of approximately 80 GB if I remember correctly) and I was wondering what’s the safest way to recover it ? As of right now, I dragged and dropped one of the folders in my new drive but the transfer rate is way too slow (it varies from 80 kB/s to 400 kB/s). I know that time is limited and I shouldn’t put too much stress on that disk so what are your recommendations ? Should I make an image of the disk ? Should I just let it copy for a few days ? Should I do something else ?
