HDD Regenarator Review

HDD Regenerator reminds me of good old days when people used to run around with rusty floppy disks full of essential disk repair utilities. It really does feel that nostalgic. Some of you probably even remember crossing your fingers and listening to the warbling sounds the hard drive made while running apps like Disk Doctor in order to “repair” bad sectors. After floppy drives became part of history, hardly anyone ever mentioned bad sectors. I’m not saying HDDs didn’t have same issues, because they did.

Performing a low-level scan was fast and easy back in the days of 20MD drives. Today, with our terabyte hard drives, even the most basic scan can take a very long time. When you’re dealing with critical data on your HDD, the process is even tougher.

What happens when you have important financial data or other crucial information and it becomes inaccessible? That’s where HDD Regenerator comes in. It can save you a lot of money, literally.

HDD Regenerator is an application that will detect and repair bad sectors and restore data from damaged hard drives. Before we go further, let’s explain what exactly “bad sectors” or “bad blocks” are.

Every hard drive is separated into blocks or sectors. The size of one block is typically 512K. When the OS cannot read information from a block it is marked as a “bad” and is no longer used.

The content of the bad sector is then moved, when possible, to another block. No software can repair physical damage to the disk heads or to the surface of the disk. This should clear up the confusion about repairing bad sectors in general. The difference is, nearly 60% of all hard drive damage is actually caused by an incorrectly-magnetized disk surface, not true physical damage. At the heart of HDD Regenerator is an algorithm repairs this kind of damage. This means the data you couldn’t access because of an incorrectly-magnetized disk surface will be restored.
