HDAT2 can repair bad sectors, but the drive may still be unusable. HDD Regenerator has a feature that shows slow sectors (read/write) so you can retry or bypass bad areas. Victoria also has this feature, but I have never used Victoria to repair disks.

HDAT2 Reviews

Nunca había oído hablar de HDAT2 antes de leer sobre esto aquí, en alternativeto.net, y estaba a prueba en el momento en que lo encontré. Resulta que HDAT2 funciona mucho más rápido que un software similar, a saber, Victoria. ¡Este concurso terminó justo ahora! Tengo la computadora portátil de mi hermano, quien la dejó caer y quería ver si algo se puede salvar. El sistema operativo se bloquearía con la actividad del disco duro iluminada; cuando se retirara el disco duro y se conectara a otra PC, también se bloquearía esa computadora. LiveCD fue el único camino a seguir. Una vez que se guardaron todos los datos (tuvimos suerte), también decidí salvar el disco duro; reportó solo 10 errores en ese momento, pero ese número creció significativamente con cada minuto ... Alrededor de la mitad de 707 (!) sectores defectuosos fueron reparados por Victoria, y el resto, por HDAT2.
Tuve que reiniciar Victoria cada 20-50 reparaciones del sector defectuosas (no sé por qué, pero la computadora se bloquearía sin actividad de HDD, posiblemente un problema subyacente del sistema operativo LiveCD) y me tomó casi dos días para reparar esos más de 330 secors malos (No estaba sentado junto a la computadora todo el tiempo: lo dejé en funcionamiento, volví tres horas más tarde para descubrir que estaba encerrado durante las últimas dos horas, es frustrante, ya sabes ...), mientras que HDAT2 ha hecho su LEER ¡ESCRIBE A LEER en más de 370 sectores defectuosos a la vez! Bueno, mi hermano está buscando una computadora portátil nueva (de todas formas era el momento de la actualización) y se la dará a sus hijos para que los "repare" ... Consejos de pareja: apaga ese sonido, ¡si no quieres este ruido constante! Bueno, si tienes uno o dos males, no es gran cosa, pero después de 50 males, ¡¡¡¡¡SE ENCUENTRA REALMENTE molesto !!!
Esto se puede hacer iniciando el programa con el interruptor de / s, a través del menú de configuración (solo presione S mientras se está en el programa pero antes de la prueba) o presionando CTRL + S en cualquier momento. También recomendaría pasar un tiempo recorriendo todos esos menús (incluidas las páginas de configuración) y familiarizarme con el software. ¡Es MUY POTENTE! Gracias a los desarrolladores por hacer que este gran software sea gratuito y gracias a los usuarios de alternativeto.net por publicar y vincular este software a otras utilidades HDD más reconocibles, donde pueden encontrarlo usuarios como yo.
