What's Your Favorite Software Repair Tool

My most used software repair disk is TechTools Pro. http://www.micromat.com I have about six versions and probably use it on half the machines I get in. It's fair. Locks up if it hits bad sectors. Takes forever to optimize files and volumes. I would be interested to hear what you use even if it just does one thing. I've used different programs over the years but the cost of keeping them all current hurts. I've used SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/S... for a few years but just bought the upgrade last week, it cut the dup time in half, for $27.95 I was very pleased.

I agree with bac about onyx for maintenance, and applejack for via the command prompt, however my personal favorite hard disk tool is Prosoft's Data Rescue, I attest from personal experience that it is a great tool, very useful. Great data recovery, can do some disk repair, and does cloning as well as a variety of other things.

Have you tried Drive Genius2.2? They have a free trial download online. I provided the email address in the comments section.

I use and have an update subscription to TechTool Pro. That is my work horse and then Disk Warrior is also great for stuff that TechTool Pro doesn't fix. But Apple's Disk Utility is the first line of defense for me.
