[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 1068300, member: 10952"] Did you mean to say it does not label bad sectors as bad ? ..in which case those bad sectors would be reused again. Hmm..in another thead someone recommended a format to get those sectors labelled properly. Which is much more work tho. There is one downside i can see with using chkdsk is it will dump whatever is readable in a folder called FOUND.001 so if file integrity is the aim then the recovered files using this method are as good as useless if they are binary. Does your utility (MHDD) retain file integrity assuming it was successful in reading out a file that spanned a bad sector ? [/QUOTE]
