Most tech savvy people know how defragging their hard drive to keep Windows running smoothly, but most do not think about how to keep the disk from failing. That is where Steve Gibson’s SpinRite comes into play. This great program is a boot CD that checks each and every bit on the hard drive to see if it is a bad sector or not. If it finds a problem it will mark it so that your Operating System will not use it.
The really neat part about the program is the fact that if the hard drive has already failed this program can still help. There is the option for recovery! The process is very similar, but it will recover the bad sectors on your hard drive as well.
The program is well worth the $89 they charge for it.
