The 1156th most popular system tool on Windows
… More EditSpinRite is a software program for scanning magnetic data storage devices such as hard disks, recovering data from them and refreshing their surfaces. It is proprietary and commercial software and was created by Steve Gibson of Gibson Research Corporation. The first version was released in 1988, and version 5 around 1998 and version 6 in 2004.
The program is written in x86 assembly language and runs only on systems with an Intel or AMD x86 processor, but it can operate on any attached storage device. It can only be run under DOS on PCs, but Version 6 is compatible with hard disks containing any volume management or file system such as NTFS, Linux, Apple Macintosh, Tivo and others since it only operates on the disk itself.

Amazing program, really seems to pull through where everything else fails. Although it is a little expensive, if you need to recover something you'll want to pay that extra money.
And for those wondering, it actually tracks the program used to create the boot medium.
AWESOME!
Has saved my data more than once. But exactly how can wakoopa track this DOS program is beyond me....
I don't know how Wakoopa would track Spinrite lol.. It works great.
Excellent. Well worth the $89. Has saved me a number of times (:
SpinRite will save just about any hard disk. If you really need your data back, you should purchase SpinRite.
