Thanks.
FYI, I couldn't get AOMEI Backup to work under Gandalf's Win10PE. Complained about a bad driver. I will try AOMEI's WinPE, perhaps tonight. Meanwhile, I used FastCopy to selectively get all the important things I could think of off the drive. (It's the first time I used FastCopy & it lived up to its name! Also didn't choke on long paths.) Dell is supposed to come tomorrow to replace my hard drive.
I am curious as to what aspect of the Benchmark test led you to conclude the disk is failing? The absolute numbers? The performance pattern in the graph? Something else?Looking at the benchmark result it indicates that the HDD is failing.
Thanks for all the help.
