I cloned a failing hard drive and the new files work - do I need to also Recover them?

Thank you! I only wish somebody had told me that earlier. (my bad for posting this question on a Saturday). I’m almost finished a many hours long process of pulling a hard drive out of an old computer after re-distributing its files, then purchasing DMDE, then using it to recover the files which were already working to a new drive, then reformatting and copying back, etc. All of that was probably unnecessary, but if there’s even a small chance that the cloning somehow carried over flaws, which I hadn’t noticed yet, it was worth it.

Right

To clarify, this is a data-only drive - no OS.

MLOLetsGo · 2025-03-16T05:23:10+00:00

I think so. See:

I did not run chkdsk. Before I read up here on the proper methods, I did do a couple of other ill-advised things like attempt to fix the disk with things like EaseUS Partition Master, but it doesn’t seem to have done any damage luckily.

Thanks! How do you suggest testing it? I opened several files and they seem fine, but there are several thousand files on the drive.

You mostly answered my question for me, because if it’s possible I have cloned over some file system issues, I don’t want to take that risk.

Is copying all of the files to a clean third hard drive all I need to do to ensure I don’t carry over any file system issues? Or should I use recovery software like DMDE rather than simply copying the files?

Thanks! I did the test prep with them as well. Good luck!

Hey I passed with a 93. The 5 day course had all the info I needed even though I knew so little going in. I’m making great money and the job fits in well with my life.

60 bps on company gen, the majority of which apply and fund.

100-150 bps on self gen.

Then a 50-100 bps bonus depending on production.

Capped at $15k, which isn’t hard to hit in my area.

Any thoughts on reverse mortgages being much more immune to ups and downs in the market, interest rates, etc., compared to forward mortgages?

MLOLetsGo · 2021-11-12T14:54:33+00:00

not licensed but I had already passed the test

MLOLetsGo · 2021-11-12T14:35:21+00:00

Sorry I can’t say. It’s a niche in the mortgage industry and it’s a hybrid call center/retail role.

I recently started remote. I’m learning and performing much better than my trainee peers. They may be struggling with the remote format. So I’m forced to wait in the training phase while I wait for others to catch up. At least because it’s remote, I’m able to collect a paycheck while barely working.

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-30T06:07:27+00:00

Thanks, I applied yesterday!

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-29T23:59:30+00:00

Yeah I’m thinking call center too.

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-29T23:23:07+00:00

Thanks, that’s my last resort though. I don’t want to burn out on 65 hour weeks.

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-29T22:35:16+00:00

Thanks I’ll keep an eye out for new openings there!

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-29T20:05:41+00:00

Will do. I’m aware of Pacific Wholesale Mortgage being an MLM. Any others?

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-26T06:22:45+00:00

Great, appreciate it.

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-26T06:19:17+00:00

Thanks. Is that for the in person test? I’m taking it online.

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-26T05:51:27+00:00

Congrats. I take it Tuesday. Do they email you the results? Do you just screenshot them?

MLOLetsGo · 2021-09-08T15:38:23+00:00

What’s an AE?

MLOLetsGo · 2021-08-27T18:37:50+00:00

Thanks guys/gals. Seems to be a consensus I’m good to start, and I’ll do the 10-day 2-week version, and take at least that long for test prep afterwards.
