I've not needed a disk repair tool in a long time. However, I now have a 3TB drive that's failing on me. It works for a while and then stops being recognized.
I've tried disk imaging it with Macrium, but it fails partway through with disk read errors.
I used to use Spinrite to fix this in the old days, but Spinrite doesn't really work on larger drives (over 1TB). Is there any other decent tool that will scan and repair bad sectors (if possible)?
