    Sup , Ive got a Failed seagate Hdd and swapping to a new one , problem is i cant seem to copy the hdd image , i threw both ghost and acronis at it, ghost went 75% before it stopped. its still readable and i can pull data off it manually.

    anyway just seeing if any guru,s lurking these hollowed halls has a sure fire way to rescue the hdd image or iam i manually rebuilding it.

    You could try doing a surface scan of the drive to route around the damaged areas; this generally allows Acronis to work...assuming the drive does not die all together in the process.

    By "Failed" do you mean too many bad sectors, making noise, or something else?

    Backup what you can while you can.
