Hi,
I was wondering if any one is aware of a tool that will help me write to the spare sectors of the hard disk. What i mean is that it can give me a list of spare sectors and then write to the spare sectors.
Please help.
Thanks,
MRG.
Any disk editing tool. WinHex for example.

If you want to use Winhex then you need to buy the full version. The download demo will not allow that function. Just out of curiosity, why do you want to write directlly to the sectors?
Well, I guess winhex won't work I have already used it (full version). The spare sectors are hidden from the OS and the BIOS.

I meant to ask you before what you meant by spare sectors? Are you refering to slack space, unallocated space, or something else entirely. With winhex you should be able to write to any unwritten sector, including slack space on the drive.
