Okay, it had to happen. My computer crashed on me.
XP is now not working properly and I'm getting error messages that explorer.exe is dead. So I'm looking mainly now at salvaging data off the disk.
I know I've got numerous bad clusters on the drive. What's the best way for me to copy data out while stepping around the bad clusters (not sectors, although I had some of them as well at the same time, it had previously been all clear)?
What happens if I do accidentally try to copy a file with a bad cluster in it? Will it cause more havoc/more bad clusters to develop?
Thanks for any help. Just say if you need a more thorough description of the crash.
