Drive Copy
I'm trying to copy a drive for a customer, Thecus Support recommended Acronis True Image however the darn thing wont allow me to select the destination disk it's just grayed out.
I've got a 1.5 TB SATA drive that was in a RAID environment on a thecus NAS, I can select the failed drive that has bad sectors as the source but can't select the matching new 1.5 TB drive as the destination.
So does anyone have recommendations for software that actually works to copy a drive with a block copy one for one? Formatted in the Linux file system -- Edrick Smith Independent Film & Broadcast Producer »edricksmith.com
reply to Edrick dd under linux will copy this. Just connect both drives to linux box or boot some linux from live CD. With dd you can copy the drive to another one or just to an image file which you can later mount as loop device.
