#Clone hard drive to ssd drive install#

Please help me guys, I am kind of lost.īecause you have Bad Sectors you won't be able to clone it. This is the first time I have tried to use a new drive and transfer over the old data.

Am I missing something here? Sorry for my ignorance.

#Clone hard drive to ssd drive install#

Would I be able to use that iso for a fresh install and still be able to get the data off this HDD?Īlso, when I check device manager, the ssd shows up, but I don't see it show up in 'Computer' next to my HDD. Windows 10 is coming out tomorrow and I think I'm supposed to get an ISO in the first couple of days of release. I can't do a fresh windows install because I don't have a disk and the key that this computer is under is an OEM key (oops).

Is there any solution for me here? If I give it to the guys at Best Buy (where I bought the HDD) and have them replace it and recover the data, will they have any success? Keep in mind that I reduced the stuff on the HDD to the point where it would all fit on the SSD. My issue now is that I can't clone my old hdd to the ssd using Samsung's software because it said that the HDD has bad sectors (or something along those lines). I was able to get enough money to buy a 500gb Samsung 850 EVO by selling an old graphics card on craigslist. So my current storage device has had some issues.
