It depends on the state of the drive. If the heads are out of alignment, Spinrite probably won't do anything for you. If it's just a few miswritten sectors, it'll do its best to reconstruct the data. You can start off with a level 1 scan just to get an idea how far gone the drive is. Level 2 is the minimum scan level for any real defect analysis to take place. Volume licensing is sort of on the honor system. You would need a total of four licenses to be considered volume licensed. You can start off with one license to get a feel for it. -----Original Message----- From: David McFarlane [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, June 3, 2014 4:21 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] hard drive recovery Anybody ever have any success with SpinRite (https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm ) for this sort of thing? -- dkm At 6/3/2014 04:16 PM Tuesday, Oscar Castaneda wrote: >I have a failed hard drive and I am set to try >to rescue as much data as possible from it. >My questions: > * Do you know a good software so I can try to recover data? > * Do you know a good company that does data recovery? price range? > >Thanks for any help. > >-- >Oscar Castaņeda >Remote Sensing & GIS >Michigan State University
