So, I have replaced my hard drive with a new one, which went smoothly. I have the old drive in an enclosure and have been trying to pull data from it. This isn't going so smoothly.
When I connect the drive to my machine (MacBook Pro mid 2012, 15" 9,1 running Yosemite), it says that the disk has errors and can't be repaired, so back it up and recover files, etc. I can access the files from the drive, but only a handful of files are copying over, successfully. Most often, it starts the copying process and then hangs up, indefinitely. I can't even stop or cancel the copying. It just stays there and I have to reboot to get it to go away. It has even crashed my machine a couple of times, so now I'm getting a little worried.
The old drive was analyzed and reported a "Bad sector error" on the OS X side. I had a Windows 7 partition also and that continued to work.
Any insight into what I'm dealing with? How can I get these files from the drive?
Thanks for any help.
