Please explain how it's possible to repair a drive, but not copy with
appropriate tools. If a sector is repairable, it's copyable. Once you
have copied all the readable sectors, you can fix any damaged ones and
also the file system etc.
Guys:
I have a question. If the drive is unuseable as it sits, how can you screw up
anything by running Spinrite?
A friend who has used Spinrite on many bad drives says it cant hurt the drive
but may take hours to diagnose and fix. He wouldnt hesitate to use it to
recover your disk.
He says using the CD you let the cd boot and at the prompt you type spinrite
then find something else to do until it finishes.
Also he's had 100% success with the program and that the MBR is a piece of
cake. And if your drive is SMART capable, leave smart enabled will help do
the job.
