Joe I wholeheartedly have to agree and despite the fact that I regularly
replace drives and make a profit I am not making a profit from my viewpoinjt
to this person - I just think it's dumb to try to fix something with
software when the hardware is going to eventual crap.

      If it saves your drive and adds life to it, then it's worth the
purchace price.  It sounds as if you're a candidate for it.


           Very possibly, I have nearly 361000 bad sectors at last check.
It was about half that a few months ago, then all of a sudden, about 3
months ago, I ran Scandisc (usually every sunday after I get off line, along
with AVG and Defrag) and I had double the amount bad.

  For the $89 price of Spinrite you can buy a 60gig Maxtor or if you prefer
Hitachi has an 80gig. XXCopy will clone your current drive to a new one for
free.
  Would somebody be so kind as to explain why anyone would even consider
buying Spinrite to repair a drive that hasn't failed yet instead of
replacing the failing drive with a new one and still having pocket change
when finished ????????
