Hmm...

Well, I was going to pop the new drive into my computer and image it, but I can only mount 2 drives in here. And I don't have Windows installed on the failing drive, it's on the other. So I'd have had to reinstall Windows :/

Instead, I popped the failing drive into another computer, and am copying all of the files over the network to the new drive. It's been running about 24 hours straight now and copied about 25 gigs.... 55 gigs to go :/ Is this bad for either drives? They aren't copying very fast over the wireless connection, only about 180kb/sec. The computers are in the basement, and the new drive is in a system on a table, directly under a register vent. The AC is blowing directly onto the case itself. I think this should keep it cool? The old damage drive is in the computer next to mine, sitting on the floor under the table.

Thanks for the info on that tool, will definately look into it!
