If you need to undelete or recover files from a corrupt file system, a formatted or deleted partition you’ll be wasting your time using Spinrite. įirstly it is important to stress that Spinrite is not file recovery software. I decided to do this post after having a yet another discussion here. All over the web you will find people who unfortunately suggest to run Spinrite for the purpose of recovery of data from ‘dead’ disks. I am mainly interested in the data recovery portion of Spinrite. What it actually can do can be done faster and safer using other, sometimes free, software. Using Spinrite for the purpose of data recovery is bad practice.

If you’re struggling to get data of a disk that’s ill behaving due to bad sectors, instead use something like HDDSuperClone ( ). It is not my intention to change the fanatic’s opinion but I hope you will think twice before using Spinrite for the purpose of data recovery. However every so often I get tangled up in discussions where I feel the need to explain that Spinrite is not data recovery software and that the perceived magic Spinrite performs is not magic. Why Spinrite is not Data Recovery software.
