HDD Re 2011 Full

HDD Re is a unique software program for reeration of hard drives. The program eliminates physical bad sectors* on a hard drive surface. It does not hide bad sectors, it rlly restores them!

Main benefits of HDD Re

Hard drive is an integral part of every computer. It stores all your information. One of the most prevalent defects of hard drives is bad sectors on the surface. Bad sectors are a part of the surface which contains not rdable, but frequently necessary information. As a result of bad sectors you may have difficulties to rd and copy data from your , your operating system becomes unstable and finally your computer may unable to boot altogether.


When a hard drive is damaged with bad sectors, the not only becomes unfit for use, but also you risk losing information stored on it. The HDD Re can repair damaged hard s without affecting or changing existing data. As a result, previously unrdable and inaccessible information is restored.

How it works

HDD Re reerates bad sectors by magnetic reversal. This technology is hardware independent, it supports many types of hard drives and repairs damage that even low-level formatting cannot repair. Because of the way the repair is made, the existing information on the drive will not be affected!

Minimum system requirements

The product can be installed on XP / Vista / 7 and it is intended for:

1. Starting the reerating process directly under **
2. Crting a bootable reerating flash or / to start
the reerating process under DOS

If you cannot boot your computer to (no operating system is installed on your computer or the operating system is damaged), install HDD Re on any computer with XP/Vista/7 operating system and crte a bootable reerating flash or bootable reerating /, then boot your computer from this flash/ crted to start the reerating process.

Supported file systems

The product works exclusively at physical level. It ignores file system and can be used with FAT, NTFS or any other file system, and also with unformatted or unpartitioned s. During reeration, the structure will not be changed and the existing data will not be affected.

As the product does not change the logical structure of a hard drive, the file system may contain marked rlier bad sector labels, even if the hard is alrdy reerated and not damaged by bad sectors. If you want to remove these marks, repartition the hard drive

Installing and uninstalling

In order to install HDD Re, execute the installation file. The Installation Wizard will take you through the installation steps. When the installation has completed, press Finish button to close the Wizard.

If you need to remove HDD Re from your computer, use the Programs and Ftures t (Add/Remove Programs) from Control Panel.

How to start HDD Re

In order to start the product, double-click the HDD Re icon on your desktop or select the HDD Re icon from the Start menu. If you use the unregistered version, you can reerate only one recoverable bad sector. The main purpose of the unregistered demo version is displaying a report that contains information about the possibility to reerate your by mns of the registered full version. The registered version carefully scans the hard drive surface and reerates all found recoverable bad sectors.

To begin the reerating process start the HDD Re Console Appliion. You can start the Console Appliion directly from ** (the "Reeration | Start Process under " menu) or crte a bootable reerating flash (the "Reeration | Crte Bootable Flash" menu) or crte a bootable reerating / (the "Reeration | Crte Bootable /" menu). After the flash or is crted, boot your computer from this flash/ and the Console Appliion will start automatically under DOS.

Working with HDD Re Console Appliion

To start the Console Appliion, use "Reeration | Start Process under " menu, or boot from the Bootable Reerating Flash (the "Reeration | Crte Bootable Flash" menu) or boot from the Bootable Reerating / (the"Reeration | Crte Bootable /" menu)

After you start the Console Appliion
1. Choose the drive to reerate
2. Choose mode ("Scan and Repair" or "Scan Only")
3. Enter the "Starting Sector" parameter. Lve this parameter equal to 0 if you want to scan the entire . Enter the sector value if you want to scan the not from the beginning. For example, you don't want to scan the first 5 GB of your hard drive to save time, because you know that this part of the surface does not contain bad sectors. In this case enter the offset equal to 5000 with 'm' following or 10240000 without 'm' following ( of sectors 5000*1024*1024/512=10240000)
4. Wait while the scanning is completed.

NOTE: If you have started the Console Appliion under and the Console does not respond to board input, make sure that it has focus (click on the console window or use ALT-TAB combination to switch between )

*HDD Re can repair physical bad sectors caused by magnetic errors on a hard drive surface. If the hard drive has a physical brkage (damaged hds, circuit board, etc.), then it will not be repaired by the product.

**Unfortunately, the repair mode directly under will not be effective, if you have only one hard drive on your system. The rson is that the repair mode requires exclusive access to a hard drive (except XP). For obvious rsons, the exclusive access cannot be obtained to the hard drive on which OS is installed. This is related to repair mode only. Scan mode does not require exclusive access to a drive. To obtain exclusive access to any hard drive on any system, plse use the Bootable Reerating Flash or / option.

Compatible con: XP, Vista & 7
