Dear Dmitry,
I know somebody asked you the same in the russian forum.
Why is it not possible to control the "erase sector numbers" from "erase waits"?
At the moment, as you described it, is a number of 255 sectors,which have to be erased after an "bad sector".
I tried this at an IBM 40 Gb HD.
I knew this disk very well, because it was a recovered one.
I knew that there were defects at the beginning of sector 63
and the next one was 95 and the next was approximately at 300.
63=bootrecord for Win2k(NTFS)
95=beginning of MFT
300=maybe the name of a File
If it would be possible to tell the program: erase only the sector with the fault in it, you loose only 3*512 bytes and your Master Boot record will not be erased and other vital
informations from this disk drive.
Because this happened here.
With the fault in sec.63 and 95 I lost the sectors from 0(MBR) to 254 - with the next fault from sec.300 the next 255 secs.
and so on.
My second partition had only 25 of these "special sectors"
which could be only 25*512 bytes=12800 bytes of information, but it was 25*255*512 bytes=3264000 bytes,
a big difference.
Do you think it would be a good idea to change it?

. This software is free and I think it is very bad idea to populate the software for low-level datarecovery.
