You can look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpinRite and the talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ASpinRite http://allthatiswrong.wordpress.com/2009/10/11/steve-gibson-is-a-fraud/ I have never used this "tool" because dd has always sufficed. Even with an almost end of hardware life (takketaketakke noise generating) disk I have been able to create an image (even with hitting the disk case because heads got stuck) and rescue data from it with plain dd. This has been more then 8 years ago, since then I make sure to always have multiple good back-ups Disclaimer: http://www.ose.nl/email
