Early in the scan you may get a red screen with "Division Overflow Error" and low level details about what caused it. spinrite 6.0 division overflow error 3. GRC Tech support responded as follows: "Do you have an internal SATA drive?? If so, in your motherboard BIOS, you may find a way to switch your SATA knowledgeable motherboard to something called "Legacy IDE" or "Legacy Operation" or "Compatibility

Mode". Various BIOSes call it different things, but the idea is that the SATA controllers, rather than appearing as "new fangled SATA controllers", are made to appear as standard, traditional IDE ATA drives. We have seen cases where the pattern testing has a problem when SATA drives are not in "Compatibility Mode". You will want to restore your motherboard to its regular SATA setting once you're done running SpinRite on your SATA drives." 4. This did not work for me on

I put this up here so that others can Google the fix.

Despite claims on the website to be a magical drive repair program. It doesn't do anything special, and the software is so old that you have to put the drive in an ancient IDE mode for it to work because DOS doesn't understand AHCI mode. Any drives with serious bad sector problems have major internal problems and cannot be repaired by software means. Drives that are affected by power supply glitches simply need to be backed up and fully reformatted under vista/7. (or use DBAN) This will trigger the drive's own internal mechanism to reallocates the bad sector. You can generally monitor what a drive is doing during this fault/repair process by looking at it's SMART values using a utility like Crystaldiskinfo.

Bad BIOS Motherboards Summary: A subtle but potentially devastating defect exists in the BIOS code of a very few motherboards -- both old and new. This defect has remained largely unnoticed https://www.grc.com/sr/kb/badbios.htm by the PC industry because modern operating systems only use a motherboard's BIOS to get themselves booted up and running. After that they take over all input and output data transfer functions using their own drivers. But all current and past versions of SpinRite, being a DOS-hosted program, uses the BIOS to perform its "bulk" data transfers. So this rare but devastating bug in the BIOS's data transfer logic, if present, prevents SpinRite from operating safely. Significantly, when this rare trouble has been safely detected by SpinRite, and SpinRite's user has been notified, a subsequent update of the buggy motherboard BIOS has often -- but not always -- cured the trouble. So either the motherboard BIOS makers are also discovering this anomaly, or updating other things in the BIOS cures this bug as a side effect. The "Roger Anomaly": First encountered during the extensive development of SpinRite 6.0 by a SpinRite alpha tester named "Roger", the problem was dubbed the "Roger Anomaly" after its discoverer. The nature of the anomaly is that all data written during a maximum size multi-sector transfer, which immediately follows a maximum size multi-sector read, is "shifted down" or "skewed" by exactly 32-bits, or four bytes. 32-bits of zeroes are written at the beginning of the t

First time I've seen this in all the years I've run been running Spinrite, but it seems to be a fairly common error with large (over 640GB) drives. Possible reasons are the FreeDos that is included in the ISO is at fault, or there is incompatibility with some BIOS. Possible solutions are running SpinRite under MS-DOS 6.X and changing the division overflow error hard drive settings in your BIOS. I've run SpinRite 6.0 on a couple of 1TB drives previously without a problem. I just got this error on a 2TB Hitachi on a Dell GX280. I'm going to try the solutions listed above and will report on what happens. GRC is working on SpinRite 6.1 and hopefully that fixes the error. Edit: It's a GX740 not GX280 Last edited by lingyi; 9th Mar 2014 at 15:15.

Switched hard drive from Hitachi to WD (both 2TB) Changed system from the Dell to an Intel Board. I'm going to and switch the BIOS to Legacy IDE and ACHI (was set to Native IDE) for the SATA drive and will report results. *SIGH* Guess I'll have to wait until 6.1 hopefully fixes the problem. My apologies to anyone who used it on my recommendation and had the same error. Quote + Reply to Thread Quick Navigation Computer Top Site Areas Settings Private Messages Subscription
