Copy Bad Sector Data

Dawn and I were trying to rescue data from her niece’s computer with ToDo mirroring.  After running into bad sectors, we were forced to stop.  Dawn will have to load windows on a new hard drive and reload the data.

Unfortunately there is times when bad blocks or sectors won’t copy.  One solution is to try to use BadBlocked FileCopier.   This software helps you to copy files that normally won’t be copied because they are damaged or corrupt.  Another tool that is in Beta.
