This is not a data recovery tool or a tool for storage facilities, i hope you didnt came to that conclusion by reading the description. If your hdd has warranty or you have unlimited money, you can send it back to warranty or buy a new one, too bad these drives will typically shat themself 2 weeks …

weakblocks (wd60ezrx)

Weakblocks is a HDD slow sector detector program. Weakblocks is an ACTUALLY working AND fast automated alternative to badblocks and to fsck's -cc flag to 'fix' modern consumer disk drives with weak (may or may not defective) sectors, when your drive producing multiple second hangs.

Re: GPU for P5A-B

in Marvin \ Video
That's not what I saw when I tested with a P233MMX (I know G450 isn't G400, but pretty close): I have tested them in ~30 games, and in most of them, the g200 outperformed it with a few fps which usually translated into exceeding 24 fps with the g200, meanwhile with the g400/g450 the framerate …

Virus Buster. The only anti-virus program that was able to properly detect dos viruses in its time. I remember triying dozens of antivirus, all of them was crappy, except virus buster. However, it seems it got eradicated from the internet in the past decade, so good luck finding it. Maybe still …

I recommend you to search for a cheap 4mb Virge DX or Trio3D to run Motoracer1.

You can …
