I bought a new 120Gb harddrive because my 80Gb started showing signs of giving up (bad sectors that couldn't be fixed using the seagate tools cd).

I have some pretty important data on one of the two partitions of my 80Gb Seagate drive, the one that seems to have gone bad. At first I tried to burn the data onto DVD, but when I try, Nero crashes and ruins the disc.

So I figured I could move the data over to the new harddrive, so I partitioned that into two partitions. But when I try to copy the data (mostly audio files) over to the new drive, the system locks up with a BSOD. This happened before as well, with my old 15Gb IBM drive. Could this have something to do with:

a) power? I have an Antec TrueBlue 350W PSU in my system, however it is pumping power to quite alot of things, two harddrives, CD-RW burner, DVD burner, Geforce 4 Ti4200 AGP card, Voodoo 3 PCI card, NIC and an M-Audio soundcard.

b) the IDE controller on the motherboard?

c) the older harddrive itself?

I need to solve this somehow. I need that data onto the new drive. Any suggestions?
