Scandisk Hangs And Won't Finish...

I'm attempting to upgrade a harddrive, (to a larger one), with a highly proprietary application on it. It has WinXP and I atttempted to Ghost it to another physical drive but Ghost failed stating a bad sector.

Scandisk at boot with sector recovery hangs at 19% and will not finish. I cannot "format and reinstall" as there is no method of reinstalling the application.

Any suggestions on how to fix this sector/block issue without formatting would be greatly GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance. :unsure:

you can try running Norton Disk Doctor on it Version 2005 I think is the latest.

From what I understand, it's disk checking method is essentially CHKDSK- which isn't working in this case.

Anyone have experience with Spinrite?
