clonezilla vs storagecraft shadow protect full version / IT edition
long story short:
Scottie could not log in to a w7 pro x32 bit domain-joined PC
it takes a long time, and desktop not showing up. in the process I spotted a black screen with the words this copy of w7 is not genuine.
loggin as local admin, run a malware scan, I cound not stopped it in the the middle, have to turn it off.
pull the hard drive out, put in a usb enclosure, do nod32 online scan, very clean.
put it back, run scandisk, bad cluster found , file ntuser.dat corrupted.
check event viewer, atapiport0 error detected controller
then the drama finally started between Clonezilla and StrogaeCraft Shadow Protect
0/ the PC and the disk drive is under warranty, I hate to reload windows, so I want to clone it. as I can login as Scottie when chkdsk /r did the bad clusters.
1/ I contacted the PC supplier, they sent me a replacement hard drive of the same model 500GB western digital. the PC vendor is correct in saying if too many bad clusters, it wont be possible to clone.
2/ using shadowportect to take an image of the original hard drive, my IT edition version is too slow, it failed . there should be an option ignore bad clusters. Storagecraft support told me the latest edition should have that feature.
3/ the trial version should work (ignore the bad cluster option), also I should be able to restore it. sadly it did take an image , but it is blank. I could not use.
4/ time is running out for me. google search is my friend, CloneZilla showed up. its debian based.
5/ download the amd64 ISO, burnt to a CD, boot the PC from cdrom with two hard drive attached.
6/ default clone failed, I have to manually choose ignore bad clusters, tried again, , awesome, I have a fully working w7, everything is good as Scottie tested it
