Существует ряд программ (например, HDD Regenerator), которые якобы "восстанавливают bad-блоки диска путём перемагничивания". 1. Правда ли это? 2. Как это работает?
Да, правда. И работает. Моего IBM-ку старенького на 30 гигов полечил хорошо. Теперь пашет без вопросов и все блоки видны. В программе гуевый и консольный модули. Сердце видимо в консольке. Может пахать из под Win9X или с загрузочной дискеты. Вот что они сами пишут. Introduction ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Welcome to HDD Regenerator - the unique software program for regeneration of hard disk drives. The program eliminates physical damages (bad sectors) from hard disk drive surface. It does not hide bad sectors, it really restores them! How it works ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Almost 60 % of all damaged by bad sectors hard drives have incorrectly magnetized disk surface. Our researches have been fruitful and we have found algorithm which is special sequence of high and low level signals. These signals are generated by the software and they switch damaged surface. Even low level formatting is not able to handle this task! Main benefits of HDD Regenerator ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- HDD Regenerator regenerates bad sectors by magnetic reversal. If your hard drive is damaged by bad sectors, the disk not only becomes unfit for use, but also you risk losing information stored on the disk. HDD Regenerator will regenerate your hard disk (almost 60 % of damaged hard disks are subject to regeneration). As a result, not readable damaged information will be restored. With all this going on the existing information will not be affected! Minimum system requirements ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- The product can be installed on Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003 and it is intended for: 1. Starting the regenerating process directly under Windows (Windows 95/98/ME only) 2. Creating the Bootable Regenerating Diskette to start the regenerating process under DOS (requires floppy disk drive available on the computer) If you cannot boot your computer to Windows (no operating system is installed on your computer or the operating system is damaged), install HDD Regenerator on any computer with Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003 operating system and create the bootable regenerating diskette, then boot your computer from this diskette to start the process. If windows 95/98/ME is installed on your computer, the regenerating process can be started directly under Windows and floppy drive is not required. To start the process on a computer with Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 operating system, floppy drive is required to create the Bootable Regenerating Diskette. If floppy drive is not available on your computer: 1. Install HDD Regenerator Shell on any computer with floppy drive and CDRW drive available 2. Create the bootable regenerating diskette 3. Using the bootable regenerating diskette create bootable CD 4. Boot your laptop from the bootable CD which you have created. Supported file systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- The product works exclusively at physical level. It ignores file system and can be used with FAT, NTFS or any other file system, and also with unformatted or unpartitioned disks. During regeneration, the disk structure will not be changed and the existing data will not be affected. As the product does not change the logical structure of hard disk drive, the file system may contain marked earlier bad sector labels, even if your hard disk is already regenerated and not damaged by bad sectors. If you want to remove these marks, repartition your hard disk drive or take advantage of PowerQuest PartitionMagic (Bad Sectors Retest option)
Работает, но не очень. Подохший на работе винт как бы восстановился, но реально выжило не больше 20% информации. Чудо не состоялось.
Поддерживают. Вот только у разных фирм они разные. Есть комплекс программ PC3000(коммерческий), который позволяет микропрограммы менять. Сам проверял, правда починить диски так и не удалось. http://www.acelab.ru/products/pc/ А тут тусовка по программам восстановления. http://mhddsoftware.com/forum/
