I have never tried it, I but heard it through the grapevine that if one can get a chicken do a shaman dance on top of your 5+ yr old drive, all drive sectors are miraculously renewed? If this does not work, take the drive to Stonehenge and place the drive in the centre, so that the chicken can induce the proper resonance frequency in order to breathe new life into the drive? If this does not work, take the drive to the pope and ask that he bless the drive with smoke on the (holy) water or to exorcise the devil out. The key here is, dead chickens/popes cannot breathe life into the drive because it (chicken/pope) is dead, but don't take my word for it, do your own homework and at your own risk. If the drive is still under warantee, the Wizard of Oz drive manufacturer will ship you a refurbished drive, fully restored by chicken, Stonehenge, and/or pope and can save you time and money in the long run.
