HDD Regenerator- Hard drive question.

If you were to get a HD that was corrupted to do bad sectors and were to repair them using HDD Regenerator do you just clone or copy the data to a new HD for the customer or do you just give them the computer back with the fixed HD? My first thought would be if the HD had enough problems to become unreadable it should be tossed after data recovery, but looking for what you guys do. I have never used HDD Regenerator otherwise I would have tested a HD to determine stability after the job.

"Fixed" bad sectors = bad sectors = replace hard drive.

HDD Regenerator (and its ilk) does NOT fixed bad sectors but can make the hard drive think they're alright long enough to copy data off of them.

That's pretty much what I figured, thanks.
