Hi,
The accessibility status hasn't changed since you last asked about it
on 22/05/2014 <smile>.
This is actually a blessing in disguise though as Spinrite is a
terrible program for data recovery. Instead, I'd suggest booting into
your favorite *nix distro and running ddrescue (which probably won't
be installed by default) on the drive.
Make sure you connect the source & destination drives directly to SATA
instead of USB. Also make sure that the machine is one that you can
leave on for a number of days if required, depending on the condition
of the drive.
Good luck.
Ben.

Hi,
Spinrite is a DOS application and so will need a DOS screen reader to work.
Andrew.

Hello,
I've got a hard drive that I know has issues windows disk check tells me so and from what it's been putting me through I have no doubt. I'm wanting to use spinrite on it. I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to make spinrite talk? I know the native interface does not.
Thanks. Dave.
