What is this used for? Right now I have a hard drive that is sometimes working and sometimes not, a friend said I could ghost it to get my data back?

Ghosting a drive?

Ghosting one hard drive to another is basically taking the exact image of one drive and copying that image to a new drive. Sometimes you can ghost a failing hard drive to a new hard drive and do a simple chkdsk on the new drive and you might be able to recover your operating system, but this method won't recover your data. If your data is lost on the original hard drive then it will be lost on the new hard drive.
If you only need get access to some files on your failing hard drive then just slave the drive and pull your files off.
