    @DeadlyCyanide : You need to take the HD out of the USB enclosure, connect through IDE or SATA, and do the scan. -Versatile

    At the end you said it won’t fix USB, by that do you mean it wouldn’t work on my external HDD that hooks up through USB?

    More info section says there is SATA support. Do you guys not read more info section? – Versatile

  7. no sata support?

  8. this is hardcore software. if you’d like to use something much more esayer and faster try HDD Regenerator.
    im not sure about data recovery but the software extends life of your HDD.

    but rememer: when bad sectors is starting to show up – sooner or later HDD will die completely.

    @leo959 : It makes the sector readable. Boot into windows, and then copy and paste your files to a different hard drive. – Versatile

    @WhiteZerox: Yes, that is indeed correct. It does not do USB, unless you got USB drivers and modify the package. – Versatile

  12. FYI: SpinRite works with SATA

    This is the third time I tried uploading this video, and I finally got it. The problem with this one is that the file is a 1.1GB MP4 file. It was worth it though, because you guys need to keep your hard drive in top shape anyway. :0 – Versatile
