Softpedia Editor's Review for HDD Regenerator
|
Easily repair bad sectors on hard drive surface
Written by Bogdan Popa on November 9th, 2011
Bad sectors represent one of the worst diseases that could happen to a hard-disk, usually leading to unstable computers, very slow operating systems and tons of error that pop out every once in a while.
That’s why HDD Regenerator could play a key role on every Windows machine out there, as the software solution tries to find bad sectors and repair them without losing user’s data.
Of course, such an application is not at all intended to be used by beginners or average users, but the interface makes the whole procedure pretty easy, so after reading the available documentation almost everyone should be able to use it.
HDD Regenerator detects the hard drives and initiates a thorough scan, so it needs a lot of time until the whole process ends. It took more than one hour during our test, so it’s pretty obvious that scanning a very large hard disk could even take half a day.
Fortunately, it didn’t find any bad sectors in our case, but if it happens to find some on your computer, it has the power to repair them automatically, while preventing data losses completely.
All in all, HDD Regenerator is a must-have tool if you’re trying to deal with bad sectors, and although it comes with a pretty hefty price, paying for a license could be a pretty smart investment for you and your sick machine.
