even repaired a critically failed windows boot drive using the tool by dd'ing over the contents to a known good drive and then repairing the filesystem and using SFC to restore any corrupted system files ended up with fully working system. Edgar, there is a modified linux dd utility ported to windows that can be used to create a disk image of a drive with damaged sectors, replacing unreadable sectors in the image with zeroed sectors, then you can dd that image back to a good hard drive and then run a deep scan on the good HD copy and see if anything is recoverable.
