ive HEARD that he was crap. i read a whole thing about it. actually, while i was using the software, it seemed crappy. hard to explain. just....felt like garbage. just had that feeling, ya know? thats why i started looking into it in the first place. jsut had a bad feeling. but so many people swore by it...ah well. anyways, its definately Maxtor. i'll use those tools though, to get more info.

alright so i had some stuff coming in from utorrent and i got this cyclic redundancy check error thing with a file.... turns out its really likely that my hard drives not doing so good. SMART says ive got 87% health, but windows chkdsk got stuck at 3%, and SO did Spinrite V6, at the same spot. ive gotten everything i needed off the hard drive (except the faulty file). now i dont know what to do. i mean...is the hard drive garbage? spinrite cant fix anything. i was wondering if there was a way to get my hard drive to work around the bad sectors. but then im wondering if the bad sectors could spread? ive looked everywhere for answers, but i think im missing a key word here. sometimes all your searching goes out the window without that one key word. if i could get some fll help here, that would be GREATLY appreciated, but i understand that this topic is ALL OVER the internet. if i could get some help, advice, maybe a little past experiences from you folks, or just a good start, well...thank you in advance.
