Looking for advice for a custom built computer.

[AnOminous]

Since there doesn't seem to be a general computer advice thread this seems as good a place as any to try:
So I have a hard drive. It's not doing well anymore. I want to clone it using Windows 7.

I tried Window's built-in thing and Bad Hard Drive is too slow for it to work. At the moment I'm trying to just copy all the files over to a bigger drive, then copy them to New Hard Drive, but I want to start pursuing other solutions in case this doesn't pan out.

Is there something free or easily stolen online y'all can recommend that would be good for making a disc image from a molasses-slow bad old hard drive?

Norton Ghost is probably easily pirated but there's also the free Clonezilla.

If it's really doing badly, though, I wouldn't anticipate a full recovery, or try to clone an OS this way.

It's reading correctly, just slowly.
But yeah assuming it stays at the blazing 100KB/s that it's going at the moment I'm going to either have to pick and choose what I save or keep my lease another year for everything to finish copying lol.

This is a little late, but I have a SSD coming tonight/tomorrow. If it has cloning software with it, do you want my usage of it? No promises, but it might.

If it's no trouble, sure I'll give it a shot. I got the important stuff off so there's no rush now. Thanks!
