Your PC's hard drive is one of the most integral components of your computer. It stores all of your information and keeps it safe. So what happens if it's no longer working properly?

Time to look for a program that repairs hard drives. That's where HDD Regenerator can come in handy. This useful tool helps scan your hard drive's disk surface in order to detect bad sectors which are making the information on your hard drive unreadable. In the event you do have bad sectors, it could be impossible to retrieve information you've stored on your hard drive, as well as copy it elsewhere. Ultimately, your computer might not even boot up properly.

HDD Regenerator can help reverse some of the effects of bad sectors on your hard drive. In some instances, it can repair problem areas so you can continue running your computer in a best case scenario. In other instances, HDD Regenerator at least gives you the opportunity to retrieve important information before you need to replace your hard drive altogether.

HDD Regenerator is useful because it supports many different types of hard drives. The developers claim that it can repair approvimately 60% of hard drives. While not a great percentage, it's far better than not having any option available to you at all. The only critique is that HDD Regenerator might be a little confusing to run for beginning users.

If you need a way to attempt to retrieve data or repair bad sectors on your hard drive, give HDD Regenerator a try.

PC Tools Disk Suite offers all in one hard drive management that integrates disk optimization, a cleanup tool, a defrag utility and even a partitioning and backup tool in one well presented and easy to use pack. Like most PC Tools products, the interface is the same as used across the entire line of products and clearly presents the options available to you.

As is to be expected, the cleanup and optimize feature of PC Tools Disk Suite aims to reduce unnecessary files and indicates how much free disk space it's recovered for you at any one time. The defrag tool reorganizes files on your disk and should speed up your system and it supports both FAT and NTFS drives. It's nice that you can select whether to defrag quickly or slowly in PC Tools Disk Suite although the fast defrag doesn't seem to make much difference at all. On the other hand, the long defrag does take a while and you¡'d be best to use it overnight.

The PC Tools Disk Suite Backup feature allows you select which files you want to backup regularly either manually or via scheduler and finally the Partition feature allows you to create, merge, split, resize, delete, copy, and move partitions. However, you'd be highly advised to backup all your data using the total backup option on PC Tools Disk Suite as disk partitions can result in lost or corrupted data very easily if you don't know what you are doing.

PC Tools Disk Suite is an incredibly comprehensive suite that covers all the major areas you need to keep your PC in tip top condition.

If you are security conscious and want to make sure that files you delete stay deleted and cannot be found again Hardwipe is for you.. This can give you piece of mind if you are selling or throwing out an old computer, meaning no one can search and old drive for personal data or files.

There are three main functions in Hardwipe. You can wipe specific files, wipe a whole drive, or clean your free hard drive space. You can choose high or low priority, which will use more or less system resources, and choose which type of data wiping you want. The selection of data wiping algorithms is pretty much the same you'll see in any app like this. You can perform a simple data-randomizing wipe all the way up to a 35-pass deletion, which is extremely secure.

Hardwipe does what it claims, and is easy to use. If your PC is shared and the normal log in has Administrator rights, be aware that Hardwipe can do some major damage if used maliciously or carelessly. We'd recommend only installing Hardwipe on an account that requires and Administrator log in! This secure data deletion program is not a cleaning app - for basic PC spring cleaning we'd recommend CCleaner.
