It took a LONG time to D/L the zipped .iso due to there being ONLY ONE source on the net!

Salvation HDD Scan & Repair V3.0

#1 Post by aero_ebook » Sat Mar 01, 2008 9:09 pm

As soon as I got the CD built, this is the 1st thing I tried as I had used the Fujitsu 6.9 proggy already and it cannot map out 4 badspots!!!

Okay, so start Salvation gives me a buncha jibberish...

then I see some messages about relocating memory and such...

At the bottom of the screen, I have:


......!


And it's just stopped! Am I not waiting (~20 sec.) long enough or is THAT the test? I looked on the CD from WIndows for the proggy itself and I can't find it.

I have a hardware isssue? Memtest it?

Hmm... :?:

If you can't find the program on the CD, either it is stored in a floppy image (which itself may be compressed), or you just didn't search well enough.
And I don't see the point with your weird poll.

I went to the author's site and got "HDD Salvation 3.0" and wrote the .iso to a CD.

Booted that AND it's yet ANOTHER DEMO!!! :roll:

On top of this, it corrupted C:\windows\system32\config\system and made
the damned disk UNBOOTABLE! :shock:

Heads up people... this CD is LOADED with DEMO "wares" unemployed programmers are hawking!

Yes Constance, I do APOLOGIZE for the poll above. I THOUGHT
I had found a legitimate "FREE product" which lived up to expectations.
But in all honesty, the guy on eBay is selling DEMOS!!! :lol: He probably
doesn't even know it.

The only way you can manipulate bad block tables is via Unix/Linux/Knoppix/SCO/etc.
This is due to the O.S. NOT being associated with ANY corporation!
Fuji/Hitachi/Toshiba/Maxtor/Seagate/etc. can NOT release actual repair programs
on their sites as they would lose sales!

If you find a cure for cancer, what do you have? ~200 million (more?) unemployed people!

The only reason I got this was because I could not remember which executable in Knoppix
(3.2 anyway) has the disk formatting program which allows you to format or manipulate the thing
while booted. It is a proggy which has a vast menu in it, giving selections of disks, boot image filesystem
types and I believe a badblock (MANUAL) writing option.

Anybody remember the name of that executable?


THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH! How's that "Constance", happy now? :wink:

There ya go, kids... have at it!

Shareware license = $9.99

My ebooks sell for more than that.


Forgive me if I'm so irritated, but after ALL the lead paint in toys and
anti freeze in toothpaste... IF I had known this was yet another cheap
Asian product, I would not have bothered. :cry:
