I just wanted to know if people used this software to repair hard drives and what their experiences were good, bad etc.

It's a damned live saver. I used to use 5 on a regular basis to recover seemingly bad sectors on the old Fat 16/32 filesystem drives. It really does the trick.

I'm going to get 6 because it can do more than one OS filesystem type across several OS's.

I bought it and the first hard drive I'm working on is so bad that its at about 172 hours to go before it gets fixed. I just hope it works cause I can't ghost to back it up.

do you really have important data that's worth 172 hours of wait? or are you just curious if this program will even fix your badly damaged drive? keep me posted please... atamotua@comcas.net

thanks

I would have to say Steve Gibson's Spinrite is one of those programs that just does what it says and has been doing so for many, many years.

I run it about once a month.
