I am trying to figure out if fringing (accidental writing of data to an adjacent track on a hard drive) is to blame for certain data corruptions... ... yes, my life is fun... but in order to do that I need to know the actual physical possition of the information on the hard drive. Does anyone have any idea of how to get this information. basically what I need is either a program that maps out the information in a graphical way, with file labels... or I need some way of finding the track, sector, head information of files... This is probably the worst thing I have ever had to think about because i am by no means a hard drive expert, any help or information, or soothing reminders that life is not all corrupted files and thermal troubles would be greatly appreciated!!!
