[QUOTE="South Park, post: 897378, member: 73194"] Update to the ongoing saga (which may be of help to others): After CHKDSK finally ran completely (3.5 hr.) and said that it marked the bad sectors, I tried to re-clone the HDD with Macrium, but it failed immediately with an error, even with the bad sector workaround allowed. However, AOMEI Pro did successfully clone the disk (although with some weird looking partitions which may have to be fixed later). I've ordered a better screwdriver and am waiting for it to arrive to see if I can unstick the drive cover. The HDD seems to be working normally for now, despite the bad sectors still marked in Crystal Disk Info. I probably bought a few weeks of time before the HDD fails. Hopefully I can get the SSD installed by then. [/QUOTE]
