Yeah. I used to use Spinrite to test drives.
I've got a bootable Spinrite CD around here somewhere from when I was
building/refurbishing computers for family members.

MY second hard-drive (Drive 'D:') just crashed with no warning. BIOS
doesn't recognize it. Dead as a door-nail.
I'm pretty sure the only thing I don't have a backup for is the spread
sheet I use to record my blood sugar. My spread sheet for recording
fuel & maintenance is also gone, but I can rebuild it from the book I
keep in the car to write mileage down.
I'm going to lose some songs I'd been learning to play. Hadn't gotten
them to the point where I could finalize them and save them as PDF
files (which I keep on a memory stick). And most of the computer games
I play were on that drive, but they can be re-installed from Steam
once I get the new drive installed ...
... but the computer store is closed on Sunday, so I can't get a
replacement to fix the problem until tomorrow.
