What is Victoria?
Victoria is a small application designed to assess performance, test and perform minor repairs to your IDE drive and SATA HDD. It's designed primarily for HDD repairmen in stationary conditions and is not intended to test the system hard drive. However, compared with the DOS-programs, the utility for Windows provides the following benefits:
- There is no CPU load at idle;
- More user-friendly interface;
- Multi-tasking;

Perfect for detecting and fixing faulty sectors on HDD. And now it runs on recent Windows !
HardDisk Sentinel let me know I had a faulty drive, so I backed up my info in time. Then I decided to toy with this program as it offers to fix issues. Site is in Russian, it can be downloaded from MajorGeek. As intimidating as Victoria looks, it has an "Easy Button".. Test & Repair was findable. Took an hour for a 320GB, but in the end, though it told me there were 2 cyclic redundancy check errors, it neither fixed them nor gave further direction. Maybe someone who is more of a pro could do more.
I might be wrong, but the application does not need to have a function to "fix" hard drives. I think that was a thing of the past, where the dick checker had to actively mark corrupt sectors so they would not be used. Nowadays the HDD themselves have that feature, where if a sector is found corrupt, they automatically remove it from their pool of active sectors. So in other words, apps do not need to actually do anything more than scan the sectors.

PS: Now that I look at the app since I am using it, it does seem to have a remap option.
