How can you even call it recovery if you aren't writing your data to another drive? If your kitchen catches fire, do you want to get out of the house or just go hang out in the living room? It isn't good for recovery for a multitude of reasons, biggest of which is that it puts the hard to read data back down on the dying drive. This is just one of many places you can find an in-depth explanation of Spinrite.Spinrite is a good tool for testing, but nothing else now. Additionally, it will deduce from the parts it can read the parts that it cannot read and facilitate a repair.
It's using analysis and reporting technologies to play with the magnetic properties - such queries will allow it to, often, correcting corrupted data. In fact, regular utilization of Spinrite, say monthly, will increase the lifespan of said device.ĭata is moved someplace else on the drive prior to running the scan on a particular, as you called it, "sector" so it's not hammering anything. It will examine that sector to determine why, if any, a particular sector is not 'storing' data. Spinrite does not "hammer at" a damaged sector. Thankfully Steve Gibson and the people at Spinrite (who I am not affiliated with in any way) understand drives better than you do. It warrants pointing out that you are completely in error with regard to how hard drives function.
I hope that dispelling some of your lack of knowledge with regard to Spinrite is read by others so that they make informed decisions based on the evidence and not what we so often see - conjecture of those poorly informed.
Then use data recovery software on the clone. The best approach is to clone your drive, sector by sector, using a utility (eg ddrescue) that understands how to work around bad media. Even if it is successful, it then writes the data back to the same drive rather than to a clone. This approach can dramatically accelerate the failure of a bad head. This is because it hammers away at bad sectors up to several thousand times hoping for just one good read. Data recovery professionals will tell you that SpinRite is a drive killer.
