I'm genuinely curious as this is a question I have often wondered what the correct procedure is for a while now.
I've always ran the manufacturer's software & test's, then check with CrystalDiskInfo and fix minor amounts of bad sectors with HDD Regenerator.
That's just my ghetto routine though, lol.
What could one use besides HDTune? The one time I tried its trial version, it reset all my power settings and corrupted several of my programs, two of the so badly, I had to uninstall and reinstall them.Originally Posted by Sean Webster

I have never heard of that happening or experienced that happening. You can use the manufacturers tools.Originally Posted by Lady Fitzgerald

I agree, it is odd, especially since it is such a popular tool.Originally Posted by Sean Webster
