Best hard drive repair tool?
Hi All,
I've got a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.8 and BootCamp 2.2. In the Windows partition I have WinXP (which I use most of the time). My WinXP is becoming unstable and behaving strangely (some programs don't load and it will only boot up if I take out all the USB peripherals). I'm thinking I may have some corrupted sectors on the hard drive. I'd really love to run SpinRite on the drive but I'm not able to. I'm thinking of running a hard disc diagnostic tool. I googled for hard drive diagnostic and repair tools for Mac and I see various options (Disk Genius, Disk Warrior, File Salvage, etc.).
Any recommendations on which tool is best for finding and fixing possibly corrupted sectors on a Mac hard drive? A tool which can do more would be cool. Thanks!
Julian
