I recently had a drive from a computer that I had picked up and was told
that it probably had a virus slowing down Windoze. I started to back up
the drive before cleaning it up and discovered bad blocks all over the
drive. when scanning the surface with MHDD from sysresccd the drive
looked like swiss cheese with about 300 Uncorrectable bad blocks and the
bios on that machine would have warned if SMART wasn't turned off...
Too bad I hadn't heard of ddrescue. I might have been able to pull off
more data. :/
