Hard Drive Crash

Last Friday, my hard drive started to fail and the system started crashing from time to time. So I had to buy a new hard drive and tried to clone the drive using 4 different software almost all of each kept on failing during boot up. I settled onMacrinum Reflect which is free. At first the same error, coulnd't find winload.efi. kept on occuring so I did more research and found the solution Winload.efi Missing after clone. Basically the page helped a lot and some minor issues like access denied when using bootrec /fixboot can be found in youtube. So far I was able to clone my disks. The system is a bit slow but at least it saved me a lot of time from reinstalling and redownloading a lot of stuff.
