Ok, so I think these are the last days for my hard drive. I've had it for about 4 years and I think it's about done, it makes clicking noises and my system will freeze up or reboot when this happens.
I have my OS (winXP) installed on this drive (files are stored on another), and was wondering what the next best step would be to transition to a new hard drive to reinstall the OS. I was going to use another hard drive I have, create a partition on it, and install WinXP on it. Are there any utilities that could somehow back up my failing hard drive system files and transfer them to the new partition?
Thanks,
Rob
