I do not know how to tell BBB that the bad sectors are no longer bad. My understanding is this occurred because Norton Ghost does an exact copy, including the bad sector table. When I copied to my current HDD ("BBB") using Norton Ghost, the bad sectors persisted from AAA. I started having bad sectors with a previous HDD (we'll call it "AAA").
But I've since lost the CD so I don't have that there are bad sectors on the drive - 8KB, at least some of which have been there since previous HDD's. Error EC8F17B3: Cannot complete copying of (C:\) drive.-Cannot copy source drive to destination location.-Error E7C30010: Device \\?\Volume\ cannot write 4096 sectors starting at LBA 3643840.-Error EBAB03F1: The system cannot find the file specified.Īny suggestions for what I could do differently? In the past I've installed the new drive, booted to the Norton CD, and restored that way. Here's a recent error message from directly copying: I've cut power consumption from other parts of the computer to compensate, but no luck. For the restore, it's happened at the beginning and it's also happened once it got to 99%. In both cases, it seems that the process ends when the Momentus suddenly disconnects (I am using Windows XP). Directly copy my C drive to the external Momentus drive. Back up my entire C drive to a second external hard drive (also connected via USB, this one is in an enclosure), and then "restore" to the first external hard drive (the Momentus).Ģ.
I have tried 2 methods, neither of which worked for me:ġ. I am connecting the Momentus XT to my laptop via USB (I am using an adapter called the EZ-connect, aka USI-2535 from Kingwin). I have Norton Ghost 14 and I am trying to upgrade my laptop's internal hard drive to a new drive (Seagate Momentus XT 500GB - this is their new hybrid drive).
