This is correct - to try and recover data onto the original disk
That's not what I said. I said that you need 2 new disks, not one.
Yes it is with all those mediocre "me too" products.
Recovery is required when something has gone wrong,
Rather depends on what went wrong. To acquire 2 new drives to recover
from a drive that had it's MBR wiped by mistake or accident or whatever
is rather over the top. Or that has different copies of FAT, and so on.
and the normal operating system will not help.
Which it already won't with only minor problems.
To have the greatest chance of retaining your data, copy all files to a
new location.
Yes, this may mean a new disk drive,
Two (2) new disk drives.
Times 2.
this gives a large peace of mind.
Actually a lot of hassle, even the possibility of breaking something else in
the process of installing and de-installing of various hardware and/or cables.
Not to mention the huge amount of time that is involved in the copying.
The ultimate test is correctly recovered user files.
For which you don't need to save anything to the disk at all, virtual or not.
Making the original disk work again may be a bonus,
but in my opinion, not very important.
Of course you don't find that important.
Your way earns you money, selling your product, alternative ways don't.
I have no intention of spamming.
Yes you do. You only advice to use your own program.
You have no intention of recommending other products.
I will try and assist other members,
Is that what you call it.
as well as asking questions.
Nothing wrong with asking questions. Problem with you is that your
questions often have to do with your software and your software
becomes the topic of discussion and the question becomes yet another
advertorial for your software. IOW your questions are suspect:
Whitness: "ps The customer is happy with data recovered"
If I suggest my program may be of use, I try and make it clear that
I have an interest in the program,
You are actually trying to sell it, nomatter how you sugar coat it.
and so it is not impartial advice.
If someone asks how to do something, and I have a solution,
Usually that happens after you hooked someone into downloading
your program that prompts such question in the first place.
I will tell them - and often other members of the
newsgroup will suggest other programs as well.
So now you force others into naming other products
so as to level the playing field again.
It is up to readers to make their own mind up.
Could other members of the newsgroup tell me if I am right or wrong,
or somewhere in the middle.
This type of question usually only invites the trolls (like Babblebot, Rodd-
less and Odiferous) within the group. The rest usually doesn't give a toss.
