I've got an out of warranty drive that has a bunch of bad sectors, which I'm going to replace with a new drive. The fact that the drive still works (after doing chkdsk) raises a question in my mind about a program called Hard Drive Regenerator.
I understand that there is more than one reason...
bad sectors
community insight
cost effectiveness
data loss
data recovery
disk management
disk repair
disk utility
drive replacement
file system
hard drive
hysteresis
magnetization
mhdd
platter anomaly
regenerator
software
technology
troubleshooting
user experience
