[Bads]

Hello,

4 days ago, when I boot my PC, I receive a BIG "warning" about a hard drive that will failed very soon

I have just the time to save all the folder "documents and setting"

I install a new HD, restore a backup from the 22 december and try to update my document from the I.....documents and setting..........

But now the 2 folders document and settings are the same size ??????? Why the document and setting I backup to another HD is the same as my 22 december backup????????????

Do I have to restore another file like ntuser or another one ?

Please help me because I have some precious document in this folder

Is that a HDD with SMART enabled??? I had a Western Digital and had SMART enabled; it signaled an imminent HDD crash...When I tried to image it, PQDI error'd out...I then ran scandisk, scandisk "fixed" the damaged sectors...I was able to recover all my data files...And the drive still works, but it's no longer in my PC...

What I am trying to say is, try PQDI; if it errors out, then run Scandisk (or even VMarkBad), and try to get it stable one last time...

My HD is in the store and I have put a new one in my pc but before removing the HD, I have run Maxblast Diagnostic from Maxtor and the Hard Drive had several and unrecoverable dammage
