Check the condition of your Computer Hard Disk

One of the reasons the computer in many cases "Hang" is a hard disk that has been worn, there are parts not available (damaged). Usually, this can occur if the computer is in many cases, without interruption or power and often die suddenly (without UPS). Perhaps also because it is old hard drive the old one.
If any part of the hard disk bad sector affected, it affects the performance of your computer, whether it is slow to hang when running certain programs. In addition, the data that [saved] is likely to be corrupted. If the answer is yes, and how to check the hard disk on your computer?
There are several ways to check the status of the drive, if you examine the default of Windows can use the facilities, but started in Windows XP to do this is to re-examine the first. Easier way by using the software for free. To participate more easily, and sounds even better and informative. Two examples of this program is to tune high-precision and HDDScan
Another advantage is two softwre is portable, so that we can take it anywhere via flasdisk I do not need to install the driver.

1. Set the hard disk, hard disk utility
In this application, there are four main facilities (tab 4), the benchmark index, information, health, and scanning errors. Reference to determine how to write and read fast access time and access the hard disk. Info provides information on the drive and support facilities in the hard drive as well as detailed information on the firmware on the hard drive.

It will give health, status or condition of the "health" of the hard disk. Standard scan to see if someone had broken with the hard drive. Error analysis of these facilities that we use to check the status of the disk. For specific results do not check with a quick scan, and remove the check mark in the list for quick analysis.

If a block of red color, which is part of the hard disk is damaged / wrong, and usually are in a call with bad sectors. If the parts that can be accessed in many cases lead to computer crashes. In addition to information of high accuracy of the melody also provides information on temperature / temperature of the hard disk.

2. HDDScan
The second application is more specialized in check the status of your hard disk (a low-level disk scanning) so that is cleared more detailed information, and view at the time of arrival of each block (section) on disk. Are also included information literacy. HDDScan that support IDE / SATA SCSI disk / hard disk, raid, [external USB / FireWire hard drives and flash cards. The following example scans the screen with HDDScan (version 2.8).

Another good drive should be a green block with little or no blocks, as well as orange or red. If there is a red block, and then in the future could be a bad sector (dark blue). In spite of the dark blue blocks (bad blocks) shows bad sectors (not available), so that should not exist.

HDDScan is in fact the latest version 3.1, but with the skin the more reason why even a little slow, and easy process is still version 2.8. Although the new version there are temperature sensors and additional fixed a bug and others.
Additional information: Make sure when you scan the disk, and not when you run other applications (ebsoft)

How to overcome the hard drive badsector

Bad sector, when they hear the word, and we believe that we have disabled the hard disk or corrupted. Therefore, we must first understand what is meant by the bad sectors, Why We're an bad sectors on the hard drive and how to manage.

Bad sectors are defined as follows:

1. The damage to information on the presence of care sector childhood (1 Sector = 512 bytes) so that the code identifying the sector was not recognized. This is called the type of damaged is corrected.

2. The response is very slow in the sector, an area usually must provide a response signal when the information requested by the President of the hard disk within 500 milliseconds. If tolerance is exceeded, and then assumed to be corrupt sector (magnetic material deterioration in this sector.) Is called the damage ABRT (Address Block Rellocated Time Out)

3. Can not read the title of this sector (in hex) when received by the head of hard drives. This is called the damage AMNF = find the address marker

4. Unable to read excerpts from the address (RelLoc sector - sector parts) by the President of the hard disk. This is called the damage IDNF id = sector not found.

Damages resulting from the above:

One. Deterioration of magnetic materials because of intensive operations in the area of the ITU-T for literacy or corrupt data disk substrate coating (thin and media)
2. Error writing and reading of the leading element (~ on the Elimination of the position error read / write) because of excessive heat from the system (the President of the magnetic response at the level of a certain temperature)
3. ~ Instability when input voltage President of the Executive are not consistent with data speed of rotation of the disk, and axes XYZ) is not read coordinates and head downward to the presidency of the event (after passing the threshold, scratches, surface data disk)

Taking into account the above information, we can conclude.

1. Can occur bad sectors, or at least started to cause symptoms of damage in the area if the system becomes unstable power (especially power)
2. Bad sector more than 99% due to the physical components (deterioration of the substrate and the magnetic head low)

3. The program only about 1% of cases of bad sectors (MHDD, Victoria and RHDD HDDL is an exception of functions, in particular) taking account of the function of the TSB software. If the program uses the process of writing read very intense part of a second (such as when to torture test), then there is the possibility of a hard disk bad sectors, but even this has helped, "" by the basement and a sign of weakness magnetic heads low.

Tool commonly used to improve the logical bad sectors:

1. MHDD (www.hddguru.com) or HDDScan
2. Victoria (http://www.hdd-911.com/index.php?opt...art=0&limit=15)
3. THDD
4. HDDL
5. PCHDD

For the trial version, please download from here

R-Studio features:

• Standard “Windows Explorer” – style interface.
• Host OS: Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008.
• Remotely recovers data over network. Data can be recovered on network computers running Win9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, or Linux and some other UNIX OS.
• Supported file systems: FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5 (created and updated by Win2000 or XP), Ext2FS/3FS (created by Linux or other OS), HFS, HFS+, HFSX, and UFS1, UFS2, UFS BigEndian (used by the FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD operating systems).
• Please note, that when a file is being deleted on the HFS, HFS+, HFSX file systems, the computer completely removes all system information on it, and there is no way to recover the deleted file except by using the Extra Search for Known File Types option. Nevertheless, R-Studio is able to read existing files from HFS, HFS+, and HFSX disks.
• Support for known file types. R-Studio searches for files with known typical features of their structures allowing the user to search for files on devices with unknown files systems, including an HD, CD, DVD, floppy disk, Compact Flash Card, USB drive, ZIP drive, Memory Sticks, and other removable media.

• Hardware RAID, volume set, and stripe set support.
• Creates image files for an entire hard drive, logical disk, or its part. Such image files can be processed like regular disks. Images can be either simple exact object copies (Plain images) compatible with the previous versions of R-Studio, or compressed images that can be compressed, split into several parts, and password-protected. Such images are fully compatible with the images created by R-Drive Image, but incompatible with the previous versions of R-Studio.

• Recovers encrypted files (NTFS5).
• Recovers alternative data streams (NTFS, NTFS5).
• Recognizes localized names.
• Recovered files can be saved on any (including network) disks visible by the host operating system.
• A hexadecimal disk and file editor supporting NTFS file non-resident attribute editing.
• Patterns (or templates) in the hexadecimal editor allowing for parsing the data according to specific data structure. Such patterns may be custom-created.
• File preview. Most of the file types can be previewed to estimate recovery chances.
• Enhanced remote host scanning procedure. In the new R-Studio network versions, data are analyzed on the remote host rather than on the home host, thereby the speed of recovery procedure greatly increases.
• R-Studio Emergency*. The R-Studio Emergency version starts from a floppy or compact disk when it is necessary to recover data on a computer, on which Windows cannot start up because its system files are corrupted or deleted.

*The R-Studio Emergency is a part of the R-Studio software package. When you buy an R-Studio single license you may run the R-Studio Emergency or/and install the R-Studio Windows version on one PC only and you may not transfer the licensed software to another PC
