You may read the entire SpinRite 6.0 review at Kickstartnews. We used a level 2 setting in SpinRite: Recover Unreadable Data. The drive was still running fine as we went to publication with this review two weeks after the incident. It ran perfectly, the research assistant who had created the required files copied them off the drive and that was that. We reinstalled the drive in the original server. After 22 hours, SpinRite completed its work and pronounced the drive fully recovered. We removed the drive and installed it in an identical hardware configuration, then booted SpinRite 6 from CD and did a Level 2 recovery (see above for recovery level definitions). A handful of important files had been written to the drive subsequent to the last backup the previous night files which we needed within about 48 hours, which meant that a professional data recovery service (with its three week backlog) was out of the question.

Prior to trying SpinRite we were still able to access the drive intermittently but it was impossible to copy data or run a file undelete utility. An 80GB hard drive on one of our busy storage servers decided to pack it in. The opportunity for the first test appeared only one day after we received our copy of version 6. KickstartNews recently reviewed our new SpinRite v6.0. We continually receive from SpinRite's (often amazed and hugely relieved) new purchasers!
