Hard Disk copy

I have pentium III 733 Mhz, 128 MB SDRAM, 40 GB harddisk
cpu. My hardisk have bed sector and i have to replace it
with the new one.

I want to copy all data of old harddisk (C: drive and D:
drive) in to new hard disk. How can i do that.

The time to do backups is before developing physical hardware problems.
There's software that is rather user intensive and time consumption
intensive for recovery, and doubtful if you or a professional can recover
100% of the data. So, for all intents and purposes, you cannot copy all the
data to another hard drive.

You will get replies on recovery, but it will not be complete based on what
you want. That is 100% of the data copied. And, is doubtful that you
learned anything from this as well for maintaining recoverable backups of
your PC's hard drive(s).

download from the manufacturer of whatever harddisk you buy, their software,
maxtor have maxblast western digital have DataLifeguard which will duplicate
your old drive onto your new drive, or part of the new drive id a larger new
drive, and will install any overlay software needed to let win98 read the
full capacity of the drive if your pc bios doesnt support it natively

I find that each manufacturers software is very compatible with other
manufacturers disks, just finished using Western digital Lifeguard to ghost
a 10Gig Maxtor drive onto a 40 gig WD drive. The once you no longer need the
dying drive you can pull it and swap the new drive onto the 'boot' connector
as C:

If the bad sector has been mapped out by Scandisk, then you should be able
to copy from within Windows. You can use drag and drop to do the copy, but
you must exclude the swap file (emm386.swp) from the copy, or it will kill
the process in the middle.

Install the new disk as a slave or on the secondary IDE controller. FDISK
and Format it. Reboot each time. Windows will assign a drive letter -
don't worry if drive letters get re-arranged slightly. When complete, make
sure you have a boot floppy that works, remove the old drive, and re-install
the new drive as replacement. The boot floppy may be required for a SYS C:
if the new drive doesn't come up properly first try.

A whole disk copy may be simpler, but might not work if the disk has bad
sectors.
