Long story short my windows pc is no longer booting because of a corrupt intelide.sys file in the system32 folder causing it to go into a repair loop. A friend of mine suggested I use a bootable usb with Linux on it to copy my hard drives to an external before putting a fresh version of windows on my PC. I ordered a USB with 15 versions of Linux in order to do this because I don’t have a second computer. I’m trying to copy all 3 of my drives, so I started with the smallest one which is 250 GB. I’m basically just highlighting all the folders and copying them over to the usb external drive, but it keeps stopping somewhere in the middle of transferring. When it stops moving the only thing I can do is reboot to get it to copy again because if I don’t nothing happens when I copy them a second time after it hangs. I’ve tried using the Ubuntu first, then I tried the Fedora, and now I’m trying Zorin and all three hang during transfer and never finish. I’m wondering if I’m over looking something or if perhaps there is a more reliable way of copying these files or a better distribution to use to do this. I do not have much experience using Linux only once before this in a high school programming class.
