I heard that HDD Regenerator actually somehow fixes physical problems. Has
anyone used it? I read a ton of reviews about it and everyone seemed amazed
that it could erase bad sectors. Some people said it took over 3 days to
scan a 100 gig hard drive, but afterwards managed to get the drive working
again with 90 gig of space free.

If its a myth it's pretty unusual that so many people claim that it works.
