Re-install recovery partition on new drive?

[Knightsman]

I tried an machine earlier today and wasn't able to get it to work. But I normally don't do sector by sector. It should give you an options at the beginning to make sure its the right size

I'm cloning from a usb dock through my bench pc & out to another usb dock. I am attempting to clone around 185 gb.

So far it has taken 11 hrs. & it is about 60% completed. Does this sound like a typical time? Seems like it is taking too long. Maybe it is slower because I am using usb for both drives?

BTW, I am not doing sector by sector.

I gave up on this clone, time to do a fresh install, I guess. It looks like the source drive is too damaged to read properly for the clone process.

I've had good luck in these cases by doing a drive image, skipping bad sectors, then restoring the image to the new drive. No idea why that works when the clone process itself fails because of errors, but it usually does. That's using ATI.

Good info., thanks. I will give that a try to see if it works for me.
