Fellas--
I am screwed
(Will be...)
I have a Western Digital 40 Gig hard drive, it contains about 30 gigs of important files and utilties. I need some serious help here, What happens, is that my hard drive was getting some "intergrity failure" errors every time I boot up, and I have tried to remove some files from the near dying hard drive and put it into the 2nd 40GB backup I have. Every time when I put a file or folder into the new hard drive, it keeps saying "File not found" , and it takes 4 ever to read a file and write it into the 2nd HD, but the files are there. (Currently on XP, but I tried taking the dying HD off and reinswap it on Win 98, it wont do any justice. ) The reason why it says "intergrity failure" since it has been "clicking" and getting some unusual rattling sounds. It works just fine when idling or running, but I need just to move the files off from the hard drive and place it into a healthy one. since I hate to redownload all those file all over again...Can anyone please save me?
I really appreciate all your help in anyway you can.. I know, my financee told me "Always back up..." but im too lazy to do it and now, it hits me to the back.
Many help or any file recovery utilities or anything is really appreciated..
Thanks
Wile'
