Hello,
I have 2pcs 80gb IDE Hard Drive: HD A and HD B, originally in Raid 1 in PC A, then I tried to distribute it to 2 PC.
> PC A where both HD A and HD B was previously in Raid 1.
> PC B where I installed HD B and got an error (maybe it was previously in Raid 1 and didn't do anything to break the mirror) I tried to install Win7 but it takes years to just process it and then after sometime, it shows the dreaded "S.M.A.R.T. status bad backup and replace error."
So I searched and tried a lot of solutions.
At one point, I tried to "Active Kill Disk" both drives, and took almost 3 hrs each Drive. Then I installed them back on PC A. But I think I did something wrong after that, I tried to Raid 1 thru windows disk management again by converting both drives into Dynamic Disks. Then after I shutdown, It won't boot anymore unless I remove HD B. It's going crazy and really confusing just to be able to use those drives once again.
Then now I tried another solution. HDAT2 4.53. Currently I'm stuck with it. I tried it cause the description says: "the main function is testing and repair (regenerates) bad sectors for detected devices. A freeware alternative of HDD Regenerator."
Anyways, it's been running for one day straight and my Pass 1 is only at 10% [8.61GB]

Question is, is this normal? And should I continue this regeneration? 10% per Day??
I can see alot of Red B, which I think doesn't show a good sign.
And if incase I should stop this, is this gonna hurt my HDD more?
I just pursued bec. I wanna try reviving/regenerating a HDD. Just for experimenting 😀
Thanks a lot in Advance for the Help
