I have a brand new unopened 250gig Portable Hard Drive - what exactly would be the best way to back up all the data?
For backing up the system drive, you can use the built in 'backup and restore' feature:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/backupdata.aspx
For backing up the data drive, just copy the folders you want from it manually.0 -
The CHKDSK log was for Drive

Do you mind looking for the log for Drive C and posting that too please.

Okay, well it also has bad sectors so still want to get it replaced.
No file system errors though on that run though, but possibly this was a second scan.0
