				What is the best tool to make an image of a bad disk drive? 
 
 
 
May drives I get in will not let the computer boot when plugged in and some drives lose readiness about 5% into the copy so that I have to keep powering them off then on by hand and restart the software. This is a pain in the butt.
 
 
 
This looks like what I want:

But I do not have $4,000 for the stupid thing. 
 
 
If I could find something around $500 or less I would buy it.
 
 
 
Any ideas? |
