Swapped a failing drive with Clonezilla instead of a clean Windows install, and the guy got his 2013 tax files back in 40 minutes
A customer brought in a Dell from his office in Tampa with a drive that was clicking, and I had to pick between a full reinstall or cloning it over to an SSD first. The clone took 40 minutes and kept every setting and file, while a fresh install would have cost him a weekend of reinstalling QuickBooks and hunting down drivers. What's your go-to when the drive still reads but sounds like it's on its way out?
