Re: Any other way to recover a HDD which is freezing the system? Spinrite says it will take 584 hours!


You have physical bad spots on the disk. You
might be able to slave the drive in another pc,
or in the same pc to a new working drive ....
and see your files. If you cannot see your files,
you are pretty much done.
