HDD Regenerator is a unique software tool that claims to repair bad sectors, not just mask them. While most disk utilities (like CHKDSK or ScanDisk) simply mark bad sectors so the operating system avoids them, HDD Regenerator uses a proprietary algorithm of magnetic polarity reversal to "remagnetize" the damaged area.
