Yeah, having seen this many times you can't rely on that drive at all. I've used Winhex before for copying stubborn data, managed to get a drive cloned and got 95% of the data back. At least then you can copy the restore files, and then guarantee that it won't corrupt itself during the restore.
EDIT:- I've also had screens draw too much power before, causing random shutdowns and other weirdness but never an HDD error.

no, no silly, it was dropped on tile/wood floor!
ok what features of winHex should i use to get files that refuse to be copy and pasted?
Partition magic says i have an exact drive size fit and ready to go... as per winhex instructions on cloning. but there are known bad sectos... on the questionable drive.

Rstdio will be able to recover the files, just install the hdd on a second computer, scan the hdd and select to save to a second hdd.

I am scanning and imaging the HD in question, as we speak. but the "cyclic redundancy error (23)" shows up. not consecutivly, but about every 100k-500k counts... i hope thats not disastrous ?
PS, im druNk, but noT -- computing ATM.,.>.
EDIT: (2 hrs. later) sobering up, and realizing that now the errors are about 1M and above counts, and arn't appearing nearly as often... (10% complete)
