DjLizard Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 The best, nondestructive repair program in the universe is Spinrite, but it isn't free (but for what it does, the price sure is attractive, $89) http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm ^^^ Read everything from this site that you can get your hands on. ^^^ They will give you insight on why and how it works. It will keep drives from dying. It can help recover data, by moving it to safe sectors... and more... I highly suggest watching both movies: http://www.grc.com/sr/themovie.htm http://www.grc.com/sr/faq.htm Steve Gibson is an engineering genius who helped pioneer the technology that powers hard drives today. Spinrite has been around for 16 years, and I swear by it constantly. I use it at least once a week at my shop (and refer my other techs to it often). There's a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. I also personally guarantee that the program is worth $89. Whether it can help you fix your drive or not is a different story (obviously it depends on the integrity of your drive). But Spinrite is highly recommend it. I run it on brand new drives to ensure that no sectors are weak by default, and I run it every 6 months to keep my drive in shape (since it rewrites every sector, it prevents weak sectors from appearing).
