I cannot copy a mov. file

[Andybtsn]

Hi guys,

My main storage drive is failing, it has been for the past couple of months so I've decided to buy a couple of replacements from OCUK today.

I'm in the process of copying all the data off the drive to another one I have, this is a slow process as intermittently the drive will just die and be unrecognisable by Windows. Que a reboot, drive being unplugged/plugged back in. Seatools reported some pretty catastrophic sector problems, not sure if they can be fixed.

Anyway, I have one file that I can't move, it;s a 256mb mov file shot on my iPhone and it stops copying at 68% the vid plays fine so doesn't appear to be corrupted. I just tried filecopy and it also fails to copy it.

Can anyone suggest anything to get it off this drive? It's a vid of my daughter so not one I want to lose.

Thanks

Can you copy it to the same drive?

Or try uploading it to youtube as a private video.

I can't copy it on the same drive no, always stops at 68%, good idea regarding the upload. I will try that

I like to live on the wild side.

I will give unstoppable a go, it's a vid from 2013 so not on my phone.
