If the drive has weak heads, T-Rex 2 allows the user to "disconnect" specific heads logically to isolate damage. Furthermore, it handles the Translator (the map linking logical sectors to physical locations). If the translator is corrupted, the drive shows 0 bytes or RAW format. T-Rex regenerates the translator by analyzing the zone allocation tables.
