What is HDD Regenerator? HDD Regenerator is an application that is used to repair or regenerate damage to a hard disk (bad sector hard disk). The hard disk has a very important role on a laptop / computer, namely to store data on the computer, such as photo files, music, audio, video and the operating system of the PC.
Like other devices, the hard disk can also be damaged which will cause the application process to be slow, data is difficult to use/access, can disrupt the stability of the computer operating system, even worse, your data will be lost and hard disk failure occurs. In short, this damage will result in the hard disk not responding to read or write requests from the user.
There are two types of bad sectors on the hard disk, namely hard bad sectors and soft bad sectors, the following are the factors that cause these two types of bad sectors.
Cause of Hard Bad Sector on Harddisk
- Hard drives have started to wear out due to age.
- Hard disk that is too hot / overheating
