Do what with a SATA cable…?

As for that tool… thing is, I’m familiar with the concept of disk images, but that’s about it. I know nothing about how it works, or what exactly I need to do, and the user manual on the download page is busted (it’s a PDF that just gives me this “the file is damaged and could not be repaired” message). Dunno what kind of instructions are contained in the program. But according to the site, I will need to reboot my computer to install the thing anyway, which brings me to my next question.

I assume restarting the machine would mean that the Puran defrag of H would need to be stopped entirely, meaning that if I wanted to do it again later I’d have to start over. Is there ANY point to letting it continue to run? Any advantage to trying to let it finish, or should I just stop it? I’m inclined to just stop it, at this point; as I said, at the rate it’s going, I’ll be lucky if it’s done by June. Simply waiting for the results and then proceeding with further diagnostic/repair efforts from there is not an option. So, what say you all? Time to stop it and move on to other steps?
