resopalrabotnick Posted January 10, 2006 CID Share Posted January 10, 2006 drive went dead on you. sounds almost mechanical, like the head skipped and started damaging the disk, knocking loose a few small fragments of magnetic coating which are now getting stuck between head and disk causing more damage with every move. you said you just got it? go to dealer and get it replaced.

dlewis23 Posted January 10, 2006 CID Share Posted January 10, 2006 jamaicarocks there is only 1 program that will fix errors like that http://grc.com/spinrite.htm Its not free, but its worth it to buy. Ive used this tool about 15 times and its fixed drives that have errors just like you said, its even recovered data off a drive that nothing could read. give it a try.

resopalrabotnick Posted January 10, 2006 CID Share Posted January 10, 2006 its not free, but if you do some looking around on some torrent sites you can find it. these kind of statements should really not be on these boards i think. it's basically encouraging jamaica to steal the utility. and he's tried that before with some password recovery tool. it's not free, but if you look around you should be able to steal it? please.
