A great way to Repair your Hard Disk (Bad Sectors)

I got one for you that's ten times better. It's called HDD Regenerator: http://www.dposoft.net/ It's a $60 program, but it really works! And this one is not brand-specific. Even better, it fixes bad sectors without formatting. Before this program, I was toiling with Salvation Scan and Repair, which did do a format, and took forever to fix the problem (if it ever fixed it at all). Plus it can require a LOT of user intervention. It passes over whatever range you specify, without stopping to concentrate on sectors that are actually bad (basically little more than a low-level format disguised as a "first aid" for your hard drive). It can take over 100 tries to actually revive a bad sector, so you have to sit there and make it go over it again and again, then run the scanner to find out whether the sector has been fixed or not. When HDD Regenerator finds a bad sector, it sits there and prods this thing until it wants to work again. I've even fixed a pocket-size, 6 GB USB hard drive with it. :)
