[vaibhav]

hello everyone....

i was running my pc fine with within a month it has become very slow.it takes a lot of time during booting and also takes time during start up.
when i try to copy files from one drive to another it hangs suddenly and nothing works and i have to restart. this happens when i am transferring data from c to other drive.
i am formatted my c drive but still i am experiencing the same.

please help me to solove this problem.
i dont want to loose my data.

A drive with 717 reallocated sectors can't be trusted. I recommend that you replace it.

The flatlined benchmark suggests that the drive may be running in PIO mode.

Windows XP will downgrade a drive's performance from DMA mode to PIO mode if it detects more than 6 CRC errors.

DMA Mode for ATA/ATAPI Devices in Windows XP:

id there any software through which i can repair my hard disk coz i cannot effoert to loose my data and when i tries to copy it hangs suddenly.so pls give a full proof solution.

[vaibhav]

means my hard disk is in PIO mode.
and that is why my pc is working slower.
can i enable dma mode ?????
enabling dma mode will make it faster or not????
should i use hdd regenerator to repair the delays ..????????
or should regenerate every sector?????????

[vaibhav]

i have taken screenshots of hd tune pro when i installed windows 7 the graph has changed please have a look.



now what does this suggest????

[vaibhav]

Are you REALLY sure you don't have ALSO viral problems ?

[fzabkar]

Do not format your drive -- formatting is data destructive.

Your drive now appears to be running in DMA mode. However there appear to be many slow sectors.

You need to clone your drive, sector by sector, and then use data recovery software on your clone, if necessary.

Some freeware cloning tools are ...

HDclone: http://www.miray.de/products/sat.hdclone.html
dd_rescue: http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/
ddrescue: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html

Comparison between ddrescue and dd_rescue:
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue

ddrescue can perform multipass cloning. It clones the easy sectors on the first pass, and attempts the more difficult ones on subsequent passes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ddrescue#R ... ants_of_dd
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Damaged_Hard_Disk

The following is a GNU ddrescue example from Wikipedia:

# first, grab most of the error-free areas in a hurry:

ddrescue -n /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk rescued.log

# then try to recover as much of the dicey areas as possible:

ddrescue -r 1 /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk rescued.log

Too many things don't match:

when i try to copy files from one drive to another it hangs suddenly and nothing works and i have to restart. this happens when i am transferring data from c to other drive.
i am formatted my c drive but still i am experiencing the same.
please help me to solove this problem.
i dont want to loose my data.

Formatted ? Then data was already lost. Then :

my hard disk is seagate 250gb and is 2 years old.
i used HDD Regenerator to find delays in my hard disk with 0 bad sectors.

... on the same drive ?!? And now :

my data is getting corrupt and i am not able to access files on my hard disk like rar files or iso files coz they got corrupted . is der any process to bring these files to their original state coz they are precious to me...

WHERE are those files ? On the previously formatted drive or elsewhere ?

pls reply .....
i am not getting proper responses...

Until you don't make PROPER questions and tell things as things are, you won't get proper answers. Crystal balls don't help, unfortunately.

i have 4 partitions .... c d e f
c has windows and i only format c drive not others coz other has data.
i only tried to copy files from c drive not from others and yesterday when i tried to copy from other drives i could not copy from them also .
crc errors were found in the files and error messages came that the file is corrupted now ..also i checked that i have 3 years warranty left on my hard drive...
but i need to backup my data but the data is corrupted ...
will it be still corrupted after using recovery software or it will come to its original state as it was earlier..

hdd regenerator only shows delays with 0 bad sectors ..
hd tune pro shows reallocated sector count as
current -80
worst -80
threshold- 36
data -814
status - warning

but i read somewhere that new hard drives coming do not show bad sectors in chkdsk utility .

this time i am crystal clear and will be always from next time.
sorry for inconvenience caused..

Your thread began with 717 reallocated sectors, now you have 814. Backup or clone whatever data you can ASAP.

yup they are increasing day by day.

[vaibhav]

which software i should use to backup my data and recover my data.
i have arranged an external hard drive of 250 gb.

[fzabkar]

My previous post lists three possibles. If you're not comfortable with any of them, then perhaps someone could recommend others.

Alternatively, see this thread:
