I thought HDDRegenerator claimed to fix drives with scratches and broken heads...why can't it handle sectors with delays?

No necro-posting implied, yet recently I also have had a 'weird' (from my point) problem when a friend's notebook running 'conservative' XP Sp3+ (some downgrade from Vista) was stumbling there and there giving strange timeouts and random lockups but without BSODs though. Checking for malware and replacing hardware made no difference, HDD SMART was pretty GOOD (less than some five relos and no pendings, 36'C) so I tried MHDD/Victoria/HDAT2 and SpinRite (the only commercial I've got)--to no avail again. Clean r2d was no use either. Then I took the HDD (yayks! T*shiba!) home under my W8, and guess what?

The system sensibly requested checking the HDD, so I decided to re-check it via a command prompt (gosh!) so many new parameters for the oldie -p-e-r-v-e-r-t- chkdsk, I must admit. A short inspection revealed numerous errs which it was able to repair online--without rebooting the system. Fancy, the drive was quite new - July 2012 and it had even AF (advanced format) which I a little later confirmed to be mis-aligned. (NB: the system was re-installed at a company by 'specialists'! Looks like a warning now)

Certainly, it's not the universal solution, but checking the (err-prone) file system under modern systems first sometimes does help a lot! On the other hand, it may be just a sheer blunt coincidence)
Jumping to conclusions, I still don't get why HDD checking software doesn't correlate its data with the file system: different approaches with the same goals? Backup-backup-backup!
