    I had what seamed to be a completely unrecoverable HD I ran SpinRite on about 6 months ago. It only took 5 DAYS for the program to recover it. SpinRite can take a long time.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Yeah, TestDisk is the same. I think I let it run for 3 days when I did my revcovery with it.

    Hey man, I would have let it run for 3 weeks if I had to. I lost like 6-7 months worth of digital camera pics, and for me, that is unacceptable!!!
