While I agree he's barking up the wrong tree on this one, I have to
remember all the data he's saved me and the school I worked for.  When
we had tried everything else and were ready to declare the hard drive an
irretrievable loss we'd run SpinRite on it.  Even a head crash wasn't
always fatal if you had SpinRite handy.  If it won't fix your hard
drive, nothing will.  So I have to cut the guy some slack.
