Thanks. I have already done it twice with similar results. I can give it
a shot while it has been off the whole day and temperature is lower.

It is a netbook HDD that is dying(or died) that I'm trying to get data
from. Also, because I don't have any media to reinstall the Win7 which
came with it, I copied the first two partitions, one of which had the
installation partition. However, I don't know how to exactly replicate
the partition table in the new hard drive. Any suggestions?

Hi all,

I'm trying to recover data off a dying hard disk (2.5" Hitachi 320GB
HDD). I was able to get the first two partitions without errors. The
third (system partition) started off OK but after doing about 44GB, I
get the following in logs:

This doesn't stop (waited for about 7hours) and the HDD activity light
(in external case connected via Firewire) is constantly red. This
doesn't seems to be something like an error reading data and hence it
doesn't continue reading from the device. Does anyone know what is
happening here?

Thanks,
KS
