The odds are 1000x more likely that it actually ruins more data in the process.
SPINRITE 6 VS 5 SOFTWARE
While this software may work in the sense of refurbishing a drive with a few bad sectors (the only thing it should be used for) and making the drive operate without hanging, it's not a data recovery tool. This same thing can be accomplished with chkdisk, so the software is an absolute waste of money in any event. When the drive hits a sector it cant' read (a bad sector) it just keeps trying over and over to read it until it either kills the drive entirely (most likely scenario) or the drive's own built in remapping feature reallocates that sector to a new location on the platter. I basically just scans every single sector of the hard drive. Here's the gist of how software like that works. I'm hoping to get a true expert that will allow the truth of the fact that HDD Regenerator actually DOES occasionally work, and then give some kind of explanation for how and why. Run HDD Regenerator (sometimes more than once) and computer works. Start out with a HD that won't boot the system. I see this so often on computer repair forums, where anecdotal evidence from credible sources is dismissed by "experts", who then gripe about non-professionals that believe in things that don't work.
SPINRITE 6 VS 5 PROFESSIONAL
So you have me, the semi-, half-assed professional computer repair technician claiming HDD Regenerator works (I've seen it with my own two eyes and my own two hands) and another guy who is a bona-fide, 100% full-time professional computer repair technician (who swears by Spin-Rite) vs.
And a friend that owns a brick & mortar repair shop swears by Spin-Rite.
I've never been able to get Spin-Rite to do anything for me, but HDD Regenerator has fixed at least 30% of the hard drives I've used it on. I've been reading this forum on & off for years, and several times now I've read disparaging comments made by "experts" about software like HDD Regenerator and Spin-Rite. I'm posting this in the Lounge because I suspect there may be some flaming.
