Is it me or is this alarming behavior?
They demand that you include them in any art you make. I don't know but that seem rather unreasonable to me.
They for some reason seem to be in love with me but the feeling is not mutual, too clingy and... nsfw stuff...

Wat. Y. Who. When. Ware. That's creepy shit right there. Drop 'em like a bad habit, then.

yeah, tell them that's completely unreasonable and kinda ridiculous. especially if they're outright demanding you.
if they stop being your friend because you don't want to cave into a demand as ridiculously asinine as that, then they really weren't that great of a friend in the first place.

I'm starting to feel like there isn't that much of a problem with you and you just have the wrong friends...

i wouldn't call that person a friend, not even a wrong friend.

Looks like my case is gonna be open all night then.
A different question for you: Is it really necessary to defrag at 6% fragmentation?

Just leave it laying in the bottom of the case. Hard drives don't rattle around much at all unless there's something wrong with it. Having only 2 connectors is a problem though, you'll have to boot from USB in order to reclaim the CD drive's sata cable for cloning.
Or use an external USB to SATA bay. I have a nice one for the purpose that allows hotplugging and accept desktop or laptop sized drives so I can copy them whenever.

Why bother with that.
Use a Debian or Ubuntu LiveUSB to boot from a USB stick, then install and use DDRescue to do the device cloning.
DDRescue is designed to recover data from old or unreliable hardware, and while it makes the same 1:1 final result as the dd utility, it prioritizes the easy to read data and then goes back for data which isn't so easily recovered in order to salvage as much as possible from a drive which is faulty without stressing it to death.
Also if you plan on cloning a drive that does not have defects in it, do yourself a huge favor and use dd to write a file containing all zeroes to the drive's filesystem before cloning. This will make any space on the drive not occupied by other files be all zeroes, eliminating any garbage data that hasn't been overwritten yet and keeping it from being copied to the new device.
Basically, for what you're trying to do, you should be using Linux anyway. It just works, and doesn't cost anything to get.

okay first of all, at least 75% of that was gibberish to me, second of all "what I'm trying to do" is transfer data for a gaming computer when I have no access to any external storage devices, and third, I'll be totally honest with you, the second you said "it just works" I immediately lost all confidence in what you were trying to say.

My bad. I wasn't sure how much computer stuff you knew. Data salvaging is far easier in Linux than Windows when you're on a budget, although plenty of quite practical disc cloning utilities exist for Windows too that simplify it to a couple of clicks.

Right now I've got EaseUS installed and running, secondary drive is formatted (probablyhopefully correctly) and I'm just waiting for the defrag before I start the clone and then play whack-a-mole with any errors.
