I know this is a "Linux List" and that non "Linux things" should not be

I have always left a bad drive up in the freezer say 30 minute just

spent booted off a dos floppy and used SpinRite that is how I have

before for clients. I wont lie and say this is a quick fix as there is
nothing quick about spinrite but it does do it thing.
