Try to copy data from broken drive

I have external drive which had time machine backup, but the surface is broken (will never get another WD drive), what would be the best way to try and copy as much data as i can? if i use Finder it's just gets stuck, but i want to leave it overnight, so it can try to recover as much as it can?

I already went through migration assistant, what happen is that i had two accounts one for home use as my main user, and one for development. everything was backed up using time machine and i never had problems writting data. so then at some point i decided to reformat my machine and was hoping time machine will restore everyhitng, but after hours, it said IO Error, Skip or Continue, i clicked skip and ended up with only my main account (also email was there), but non of the applications were restored and no my other account. so i can of have no clue how much was restored.
i got drive genius and checked the disc it was having more then 600 bad blocks in 30% scanned which was going on for 24 hours.
So, now i got replacement disc, and want to try using my best to copy all i can, so if i remember i am missing something, i can try to recover it later.

    How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
    If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
    Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

  • Copying data from CD drive to HD

    When trying to copy files from a CD- rom to the HD part of the data will copy and I then get the message "copy failed as part of the file "file name" could not be read or written". This happens on different discs and not always on the same file on the same disc (sometimes a file will copy and sometimes it won't).
    Also, sometimes when trying to restore a disc image file using finder it attempts to verify the image and then gives the error "codec overrun".
    If anyone could give me some ideas on this it would be most appreciated.

    are you getting an error code -50?
    If so reboot the computer and try again.

  • Clean install on new 1TB hdd, Yosemite keeps freezing when copying data from an ext drive and also from a usb

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to figure out why my macbook keeps freezing when I try to drag my data across to it (even small files from a USB).
    I've had to force restart over a dozen times today :/
    I ran EtreCheck and there are a couple of issues (I've no idea what they mean).
    If anybody could share some light into the report below I would be very grateful:

    Thanks - I had a 1TB hdd in my macbook for about 12 months but it started playing up a few days ago (I got the question mark folder on bootup) so I bought another 1TB hdd (same model) and started from scratch.
    My macbook is an early 2010... now I'm wondering if Yosemite is a bit too much for it?
    The ext hdd is my timemachine backup, so yes I have used it often and it has my TM backups - and the usb is a new usb which Ive used a few times.
    The issue seems to be when Im transferring files from an ext drive to my mac. I can use it fine and browse (worked find for 45 mins) then I tried to bring my data across.. and it copied a few gig over before total freeze.
    This has happened about a dozen times.
    I keep running disk utility and checking the disk. I also just ran the apple diagnostics tool that came in the apps cd - the hardware apears to be fine.
    I have a 250 gb partition for the OS and the rest is my second partition for data.
    I'm now wondering if I should reformat the first partition, install leopard from the CD, then upgrade to mavericks and leave it at that.
    Any thoughts would be awesome. Thank you for reading and replying!

    Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I did get some responses that work. Thanks so much!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy pics from my external drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do it from LR or my drive, I keep getting the message; "Disk burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone may know if there's anything I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help!!! So frustrating!!  I have a PC Lenovo computer, I don't know if this makes any difference. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!!!

    Have you burned Discs with other programs using this computer? Are you certain that you have a drive that will burn discs?

  • How to copy data from mac to external HD Drive

    How do i copy data from mac book to an external hard disk drive?

    Click on the Desktop area (the area where there are no open windows or Dock)
    Look at the menu at the top next to the small Apple, it should say Finder
    Click on the File men and select New Finder Window
    Click on the File men and select New Finder Window (or stick in a disk, a USB, connect a hard drive and double click on the icon that appears on the Desktop)
    Grab the Window by the top area by clicking and holding the mouse button down so both are side by side.
    Click on the sidebar or open folders on the first window to get to where your files are
    Click on the sidebar or open folders on the second window to get to where your destination is going to be
    Click and drag the files or folder from one window to the other
    If this occurs between volumes, it will copy
    If this occurs on the same volume, it will move them
    If you want to copy on the same volume, use the Finder > File > Duplicate and move the copy

  • Copying data from excel(more than one row) and pasting into table control

    I have a requirement to copy data from excel and have it pasted it into the corresponding fields table control when the user clicks on an icon.For the first part I used a class to copy it from the clip board.By the previous process,I get the data inside an internal table, but even after  trying to split the data using 'split at cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab into table itab.' it's not working.The table and the excel file are of the same structure.

  • Will upgrading to windows 10 delete the data from all drives

    A notification for upgrade to windows 10 is available for my mentioned notebook. I've never upgraded to a newer version of windows earlier so i wanna be sure if the upgradation would delete all the data from each drive(i.e. windows drive"c" along with D,E and F)) and what is the total amount of NET-DATA(in MB) will be used for Upgrading online..so that i might not run out of data balance during upgradation process. One more thing..currently the windows 10 logo has arrived at the bottom right of my task bar. Do REPLY asap!!!

    Always back up your data when upgrading! It will only if you tell it to during setup.  I would not upgrade untill you have backed up important data manually (copy>paste) to another external hard drive.

  • Copy data from one Table to another Table

    How can I copy data from one Oracle Table to another Oracle Table on a different server? Question 2: How can I clear all of the data in one Table with a single SQL script?
    Thanks...

    Question 1:
    I assume you have the privileges. If you don't, ask the DBA to give them to you. Then
    1. Login to database_source (It could be either the source or the target. Let's assume it's the source.)
    2. Create a database link to database_target: CREATE DATABASE LINK link_to_database_target CONNECT TO myuserid IDENTIFIED BY mypassword USING 'database_target'; Note the single quotes.
    3. Copy the table data: INSERT INTO targetowner.mytable@link_to_database_target SELECT * FROM sourceowner.mytable; COMMIT;
    Question 2:
    You have two options, but you may not have privileges for both.
    Option 1:
    DELETE FROM tableowner.tablename; COMMIT;
    Advantage: Since this is a DML (Data Manipulation Language) statement, you have to commit the transaction. Also, the data will be gone but the table size is NOT changed, so it's ready for accepting replacement data. DML statements can simply be executed not only from SQL scripts, but from PL/SQL scripts as well.
    Disadvantage: Slow, because all record deletion is logged, so you can recover from it by issuing a ROLLBACK; instead of the COMMIT; above. The table size is NOT changed, so if you are short of disk space or tablespace space, you have not resolved the issue.
    Option 2:
    TRUNCATE TABLE tableowner.tablename;
    Advantage: Since this is a DDL (Data Definition Language) command, you do NOT have to commit the transaction. (DDL commands automatically commit both before and after their execution.) The table size will be changed back to the initial extent size which is the minimum size a table can have and can only be set when the table is created. If it needs to be changed, the table has to be dropped and recreated with a different initial extent size. The statement execution of this command is not logged, therefore it's much faster then the DELETE.
    Disadvantage: No rollback. Being a DDL, this command cannot be executed straight from PL/SQL. If you need to issue this within PL/SQL, you will have to use dynamic SQL.
