In this situation (after complete backup) the drive may be placed a secondary drive and Disk -> Surface test -> Reinitialise disk surface test is the best method to repair such problems (the Surface Test -> Read + WRITE + read test is designed for other purposes, not really for this). the Disk -> Surface test -> Read test shows the proper location on the disk surface, indicating that the problematic area is still accessible (not re-allocated) Instead, chkdsk marks the cluster of the logical drive (the partition) as bad, forcing the operating system to ignore that area.īut this does not fix the problem, for example if you will ever need to re-partition / re-format the hard disk, the problematic area will be used again - risking data loss. The problem is that chkdsk does not do what you expect: it does not force the hard disk to re-allocate the bad sector, to prevent its later use. In particular I'm presuming these are related to reading the one bad block marked so far and the HDD will just mark this one not to use and that the disk will then be stable again.but I could not find much on this error and any advice on the HDS forum, any ideas, links or comments on this one would be great. I've only got one bad block so far on the "Disk surface map" but at that time I got a bunch of the following: -> Error: 1117 The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error., Sector: XXXXX As per the FAQ I then moved onto the SW test on this disk and selected the Surface Test -> Read + WRITE + read test. Getting more proactive I then used HDS to run the HW Quick Test (previously ran fine) and then the Extended Test but they now both fail quickly (Test Failed by Read Element). Please run the CHKDSK /R command on 'C:' and then rerun the backup operation." I ran CHKDSK /R on the headless server and post that the backup worked fine. 1024 bytes have not been backed up because they could not be read. This may be an indication of problems with your hardware. Recently the backup for this drive failed do to the inability to read a sector with the following eventviewer msg: "The backup operation has completed with warning(s) - Volume 'C:' has developed new bad clusters.

In conclusion, this software is great and deserves a qualification of 5 out of 5, try it out.I've got (another) HDD with issues but this one has been stable with no decrease in heath since I installed HDS (reporting 20 bad sectors and some weak sectors). The software also has a disk cloning feature that is great to copy all the content of a disk to another without losing data.
The backups done by the program can always restore your data as nothing happened, and you will have your info again. The tool will give you an analysis of the sectors that are damaged to the sectors that are acting excellently and show nos signs of trouble.Įassos Disk Genius also backs up your data in case something happens, and you find losing important files. The program has a feature that repairs bad sectors of data on your computer, and you can do this just by right-clicking the hard drive you want to repair, it's as simple as that. This tool is a lifesaver that has many uses other than just recovering data, but it also lets you manage data in a better way. I used the software, and I was able to recover my lost data, I was so happy I jumped several times out of happiness. I like that it's simple and easy to manage.
The interface is attractive and easy to use. My first impression of this software was great.

I decided to install this software on my computer and then was ready to try it. Before stumbling upon this software, I used several other options, but none of them helped me, then a friend told me he had used Eassos Disk Genius, and he was able to recover the data he had lost. I was desperate and didn't know what to do. I first discovered this software when I lost really important data related to my job.
