![]() If you use Windows drive checking tool *& have it scan for & attempt recovery of bad sectors*, any bad sectors are also recorded in the NTFS file tables. When/if you have a bad sector(s), generally the best approach is to use the drive manufacturer's software tools to fix it, either substituting another sector, removing it from use or whatever. That said, the moral of the story is DO NOT USE WINDOWS TO RECOVER BAD SECTORS. In my experience copying a partition re-writes those NTFS tables - restoring a backup does not, nor does cloning the partition. You have to get rid of the NTFS file tables, & that's a PITA. At that point you're screwed, since once that happens there's a whole lot of stuff you can no longer do to that drive/partition, even if you later use the manufacturer's tools to fix it. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think you're mistaking an attribute of partition copy for something EaseUS Partition Master alone does differently. #33: "One feature this program has over GParted, Windows’ own bundled partition tool and Paragon Partition Manager is that EaseUs will copy partitions with bad sectors – which I needed to do recently."
