I recently had a drive from a computer that I had picked up and was told |
| 20 |
that it probably had a virus slowing down Windoze. I started to back up |
| 21 |
the drive before cleaning it up and discovered bad blocks all over the |
| 22 |
drive. when scanning the surface with MHDD from sysresccd the drive |
| 23 |
looked like swiss cheese with about 300 Uncorrectable bad blocks and the |
| 24 |
bios on that machine would have warned if SMART wasn't turned off... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Too bad I hadn't heard of ddrescue. I might have been able to pull off |
| 27 |
more data. :/ |
