Hdd regenerator hardware fingerprint error

#Hdd regenerator hardware fingerprint error software

One of these drives had a first sector area problem and would not identify itself, MBR kind of error, and even it now appears normal. I can't understand why I have never heard of this program before! My bad memory is showing and I am forgetting where I am with each one, doing several at one time on several different machines. I would hate to do it with a large drive, chances are it might not even work, the largest I have tried is 20gigs. I have been taking notes from observations, firstly using MS scandisk and the positions of the 'Bads' then running the regen program, cleaning the drive and reformatting, then running scandisk once again, takes ages, but it definitely shows the thing is actually working. With a 20 gig drive it takes around 40 minutes or so, but if you get some repaired clusters showing in the worm on the first pass it is clean all the way on the second, so far at least with the drives I have used. On the initial run it picks the bad clusters and shows them as a red 'B' and then sits there for a minute or so and the 'B' changes to a blue 'R', this is represented on a 'worm' type display horizontally across the screen, the 'R' obviously means regenerated or repaired, and the thing moves on. It is one of the rare times I have seen a program actually do what it says it will.

Good evening gentlemen, yes dobbelina, that is what actually happens, I suppose it is normal that the software marks things as bad and has no reversal ability, but certainly after rehashing the MBR and the other associated stuff the bads are all gone. I cannot understand how I'd never heard of it previously. It is just a simple little dos kind of screen if works on any file system apparently and does not damage material already on the drive. I was reading about the spinright program but I suspect this HDR would be in front of it. I just had one apart but the head assy pivot is damaged, another is jut going click-clack so it is also scrap. I am currently trying to locate some duff drives to play with some more, I threw a lot out a week or so ago!! It could be quite a tool for high level data problem recovery. I would love to know how permanent the corrected cluster will be? This sounds quite incredible because some of these drives I have been playing with were really multicoloured screens beforehand. But if you re-fdisk the drive, wipe the MBR and reformat, then do a scandisk it shows a lovely clear screen without any bad cluster marking at all. If you then run a MS scandrive it comes up with errors still showing in the DOS scandisk screen, and does not mark them up as being fixed or alter them, it just runs straight through them, and leaves them marked as bad.

What I have found is that if you run it on a known bad clustered drive with an operating system or data still on it, it runs through and regenerates the drive and then quits. G'day John and everyone, yes this program is quite incredible, I have been playing with it for a couple of days and now have seven fully recovered drives! I have pulled many of these drives apart in the past and the platters always appeared to be in pristine condition with no apparent blemishes or damage evident.Д¬ertainly an interesting play session, I thought Johnwill or CJdriver might have toyed with this at some time, they seem to have played with everything else. I have always felt a little prayer created the right atmosphere for healing. Of course I say the magic words when I do this. In the meantime I am looking for duff drives to place my hands on and ressurrect. I did have a look at spinright but that appeared different, I will recheck, tnx fr the address. (have a chat with him about it) I usually just toss the drives when they start to fail, this may change that idea!

I have church tomorrow morning (sunday morning in ten hours time, computer meet!!) and the high priest there (hardware programmer) is a pretty cluey chap so I might have to make confession. I can't wait to see if they begin to fail once again or how long it may take.

So far I have gotten six drives two which were mechanically damaged and the other four were crook clusters, one had fourteen bads another would not even f-disk and they all now are clean and test perfectly, two are 20 gigs so it has been a rewarding playtime. G'day lotuseclat79, yes I have had a bit of a looksee but there is a lot of stuff which is gobblegook as far as I can see.
