Failed To Read From Sector When Cloning. Should I Continue?

Hi,
I am still using Win-7.

I have a HDD where I have saved Win-7 with all settings & Updates till 2020.

I use this HDD in case if I need to install win-7 in another drive by just cloning new HDD from this HDD.

I was cloning a new SSD from this HDD to install win-7 from this old HDD but I got a message halfway when cloning as follows :

" Failed to read from sector " 100 003 656 " from HDD-1. Try to repeat but if error persist use chkdsk.
Direct R/W operation has failed. ( Ox 590001 ).
Input/Output error ( OXFFF1 ) "

It gave me a choice to try again or ignore or ignore all.

I selected " Ignore all " and it installed Win-7 on new SSD.

Windows-7 is working fine on New SSD.

Should I continue to use it & install all my apps & data on this newly cloned SSD or run chkdsk on original HDD ? & then install Win-7 again ?

Couple of my important apps seems to be working fine on this new SSD.

Please advice.

Thank You.

 

not that i have a definitive answer, but if the new SSD is working as you expect, with no issues, i would consider yourself lucky. i've been dealing with failed hard drives at work over the last week, and when a hard drive starts to cough up bad sectors, it needs to be replaced (ASAP sort of thing), because the hard drive won't get better, and will only get worse. again, if the new SSD is working to your expectations, with no issues, i would continue to use it, and then find a replacement for your old HDD. maybe someone else, here, has other thoughts, but that has been my experience.
good luck with it!

 

Thank You. Really appreciate it.
