- AlexandrB 15y agoThat doesn't answer the question at all. A dead hard drive will have an inoperable restore partition. This seems like it will be a total PITA. PC restore partitions I've worked with always had weird quirks (strange partition types, special MBR boot loader code) that make them hard to copy/move to a new drive successfully.
