I have a clients computer that has developed some bad sectors on the hard drive (WD 40gb 7200rpm) and when it runs chkdsk on boot up, it finds quite a few unreadable sectors, and the OS looks pretty messed up.
What I tried to do was run Ghost 7.0 to move whats left to a new hard drive, after which I would re-install Windows 2000. Unfortunately both Ghost and DiskImagePro 5 complain about CRC errors and won't let me copy even when I select the "copy anyway" options.
The hard drive is NOT making the awful clicking sounds I would normally associate with dying hard drives.
Any suggestions as to a software solution to move the remaining data to a new hard drive???

Thanks
