If you have bad clusters on the drive and this happens again, there is a utility from Gibson Research called Spinrite that can low level format the drive w/o loosing the data, and move it to save locations.

Yes, it formats, but it also saves the data. It moves the data and tests the drive. Rad up on it, its one of the best disk utilites out there.

Cool, it must save the data to a part of the drive, then format the other part and move the data to the newly formatted piece, and format the rest!
Damn, I thought of that years ago. :beat:

Kev_Dawg: Low-level formatting writes zeros to the entire drive, then writes a new FAT (File Allocation Table), you may have heard of FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS, etc. Well I am pretty sure that is how it is done, correct me if I am wrong. :scratch:
This (if I am right) program will move your data aroud the HDD and format parts that your data is not currently on. Basically it would help with your bad sectors, and eliminate them causing any potential errors. :thumb:
