Windows 10: Can I transfer files to a new PC from a HDD that contains a corrupt Windows file?

My old computer died due to a corrupt Windows file, and as it was an old laptop, I decided to upgrade anyway. I have some very important files on the old HDD, which I could transfer from it to the new pc via a SATA to USB reduction, but I am worried to plug it into the new laptop in case the corrupt Windows file does some damage to my new laptop's SSD. For reference, the old laptop was Win10, the new one is Win11.

Corrupted file RAR

If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:

• Open WinRAR application in your system.
• Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
• A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
• Now click Open button.
• Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
• Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
• Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
• Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
• WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.

I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

Thanks.

 

Need Help Files Transfer

I have a computer running Windows XP Home Edition. That computer has two internal HDDs:

The 1st HDD is C:\ that running Windows. And it has 20GB total of capacity.
The 2nd HDD is D:\ that is empty. And it has 90GB total of capacity.

The C:\ drive is almost run out of space (full). Is there a way I can transfer everything in the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive and begin to use the D:\ drive from there on as primary drive?
Can the Windows Files Transfer feature in XP transfer everything I have in C:\ to D:\? If it cannot, then which way can I use to perform the above step?

Thank you.

 

Transferring Files from HDD TO HDD

yeah I just copied one of my folders containing some of my docs to another drive. I can just copy and paste?

On another hand, I backed up the remainder of the files with Easy transfer and now I can't transfer back because it has to be to the drive with windows installed on the new computer. My new drive is a 64GB SSD *Frown
