Not sure if I'm going to get a good clone. Even in recovery mode, I'm getting a ton of "source read ERRORs" and "read and write different". When I run it without the recover flag, it just spams the screen with bad sector messages, then fails.

But, if I boot to the source drive in Windows10, everything works normally, and chkdsk reports it's totally clean.

I'd rather not use a 'while booted into windows' clone tool, but this looks like it's going to be a complete failure given the number of "bad sectors".

Any ideas?

Maybe you can do a hardware check? Like, memtest or check your CPU fan...
