Removing data off a broken HDD

[Zohaib1647]

Recently a S.M.A.R.T bad error came up for my internal HDD. I cannot get past the login screen when using said HDD. Since then I have gotten a new internal HDD and was wondering is there any way I could transfer everything from the old to new or even wipe everything from my old HDD?

 

All replies are appreciated

Try booting on a Linux USB and see if any partitions are readable, if you're lucky its just a windows issue..?

Attach the failing hard drive as a secondary drive, boot into windows from your new fresh working drive, and copy/paste what data you can get off the secondary drive.
