DRevitalize is a program that repairs bad sectors (physical defects) on
popular magnetic media (hard drives and also floppy drives to some
extent) by generating a special sequence of high and low signals around
the physically damaged area. The surface of almost any drive can be
repaired with this utility (even hard drives that were dropped down or
exposed to strong electromagnetic fields). However, this DRevitalize
(Demo) and the DRevitalize (Light) versions are not designed to work
with modern drives having an intelligent defect management system
enabled (usually any hard drive produced after 2000). If the program
detects such drive, in most cases it will simply force the reallocation
of any bad sectors discovered until the spare pool is exhausted and
auto-reallocation is turned off by the drive itself. Floppy disk support
is purely experimental and will probably be improved in the future (2
out of 10 floppy disks can be repaired). DRevitalize (Demo) version can
only scan and repair the first 1000000 sectors. The program will not
work under Windows XP. Moreover it is not recommended to run it under
Windows 9x/Me. It's an MS-DOS protected mode executable. Please note
that even if you buy the software you use it entirely at your own risk!
I can not be held responsible for any incidental, special or
consequential damages, data loss, lost profits, lost savings or lost
revenues arising out of or resulting from the use, misuse or
modification of the DRevitalize software.
