Problem description: Old external hard drive reports bad sectors. Got a new, larger, external hard drive I want to transfer the files to. Attempted fixes: Just straight copy and pasting from one drive to the other would stop at a certain point. Downloaded AOMEI Backupper Standard, EaseUS Disk Copy, and looked at some other options but the actual cloning functions aren’t available in the free versions of the software I found. Not keen on running chkdsk since it will take a long time and I fear it will just create more problems than it would solve. -- Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64-bit. System specs: 3700x AMD CPU, 16 gigs RAM, NVIDIA 3070 video card, 1 tb SSD main SSD drive, 1 tb Western Digital Passport external hard drive (bad sectors,) WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Drive (drive I want to transfer files to.) Location: USA I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Yeah, don't run chkdsk. That could damage the HDD more. There are a lot of free open source ones out there: https://www.tecmint.com/linux-disk-cloning-tools/
