I have a software called Wipe which i have seen performing better than spinrite.Interested ?.
secondly,i have a hdd that functions Very well 4 two days then ceases even being recognized by the machine.After 2 days again it`s detected & running what would be the problem?

Instead of trying to repair, You should check with manufacture and download their low level format kits. Although they just write zeros to the drive, that allows fdisk to perform repairs. Bad sectors is a sign of hardware failure. Nothing will repair pernamently.
