If you're willing to spend time learning disk recovery, the TestDisk and Photorec are very good and they are free - they're a little above the average end user's comfort level - but there are step-by-step instructions.ĭepending if you need to recover files or diag your disk, there are more tools. run the quick scan first - then the long scan if necessaryĪre you willing to buy a product, some are free, some are not, one of the best (I'll have to look it up, cast about $50. Those diags might do more than std Windows. Minitool Partition Wizard is a great utility Sometimes the DOS version is better - it gets Windows out of the way Is there any other decent tool that will scan and repair bad sectors (if possible)?Dude is on the money - mfr first place to start - run the diags indicators and drive information, and perform advanced tests. It can perform short and long drive self-tests and read/write tests, extract S.M.A.R.T. It exists as a version for DOS (bundled in a bootable medium with FreeDOS) and Microsoft Windows. I used to use Spinrite to fix this in the old days, but Spinrite doesn't really work on larger drives (over 1TB). SeaTools is a computer hard disk analysis software developed and released by Seagate Technology. I've tried disk imaging it with Macrium, but it fails partway through with disk read errors. It works for a while and then stops being recognized. However, I now have a 3TB drive that's failing on me.
I've not needed a disk repair tool in a long time.
