Yup.
It's a great product. But keep in mind that it's good for maintenance
and data recovery. It might not be as helpful with serious mechanical
issues. If the BIOS can't see the drive, you're hosed.
In certain cases, it can take forever to run. But that's a good thing.
Steve Gibson, the man behind Gibson Research (Spinrite), does a podcast
with Leo LaPorte called Security Now. It's very informative.
