Mr. Gibson is pretty adamant that SpinRite should not be run w/any memory resident software, which includes screenreaders. On 10/22/15, Anatoliy Shudrya <anatoliyshudrya@hotmail.com> wrote:
Is it to recover files from corrupted HDD or to just check for errors?
I've used other open source tool to recover files from corrupted partition with great success.
The program is called Testdisk. It's a Linux utility, but they have a package for windows.
Works quite well with jaws and I believe I have had to use jaws curser to navigate in DOS like menu.

Has anyone utilized the Spinrite drive check and repair utility? I heard about it from a Security Now podcast and wondered if it has been used by a screen reader user.
