Default Data Recovery

Bad sectors are real pain as we have to rely on Windows to try and read them and it can be painfully slow.

The best option is to click on the OPTIONS button and put a tick in the box for "prompt for start cluster". This will allow you to select where you start the search. Using this technique you will be able to quickly test different parts of the drive to see what you can get back whilst jumping over the bad sector problems.
