    Either an offline recovery or not, you need another HDD to restore you wanted files.
    Try Hirens boot cd 15.2 > boot mini Windows XP > run getdataback

    I guess it's a lot easier to unplug your HDD and plug it into another computer and run Partition Find and mount, it's easier and safer.

    Use 'testdisk' software. search for testdisk & CGSecurity in Google. Take your time to learn it. If your hdd is visible in bios, you are in good luck.

    Hiren's boot cd also has testdisk installed in it. Boot with this CD as earlier posters have said and find testdisk.

    you're right but my HHD is mounted on a different approach can hardly be removed

    otherwise Thanks


    i try that look cool but show me one error when goin ntfs patition quick scan

    otherwise thanks i found solution with Hiren's boot cd and getdataback



    I try that before i post in mdl and i know for getdataback but that is so efficient and good i don't know that

    maybe I've been lucky because i have hiren boot cd from 2011 and never used it and i have one 1 TB external Hdd and surprises me all data come back with exelent quality Thanks a lot

    except I have one disk encrypted with bitloceker and that still I cannot return it files
    when I try to scan with GetDataBack show one error mtf info file cano't read and I try to return them in anyway yet

    @Hadron-Curious - You just reminded me of the most important thing...

    BACKUP YOUR DATA! And then backup your backups. The more devices you have your data backed up to, the less likely you are to lose it.

    thanks, but i use
    MiniTool Power Data Recovery
    iCare Data Recovery Pro
    Seagate FILE RECOVERY
    Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Professional
    Wondershare Data Recovery
    EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

    but some software allow me to recovery data but by different name (change when data recover), but some software show data by previous file path, when data recover that files show corrupted.

    thanks for all

    may be i can give that HDD to data recovery center

    Why posting this in the giveaway part of the board?

    Use a file recovery tool.

    Recovery of Data from a damaged WD 500GB SATA3 HDD

    A few days ago I was getting that HDD from an employee of a customer for to try to recover some of the (lost) data from that HDD. Unfortunate, that lady didn't have done any Backup of Data for more than 4 months.

    Ok, I took over that Job and started the check first to find out what would be the best way to go under the request NOT to do any altering physically to that drive.
    I was first trying to get the HDD recognized by the Computers BIOS, which failed on all Intel Machines I have, just the AMD Machine was get it accessed by BIOS. A Drive-Letter was shown, just access to the drive was rejected. Same happened while using it connected internally, as well as via eSATA and USB 2 and USB3 externally.
    Next step was to see was Tool App I could use if any? I started with Active@ File Recovery Enterprise 8.2: couldn't find that HDD! Next was Active@ Partition Recovery 5.3: same, drive not found! Same happened with EasyRecovery Pro 6.04! Also, OO DiskRecovery 3 didn't do the job! In the end, it was Easeus Data Recovery Wizard Pro 5.8.5 Which found the drive and also was access that HDD.
    The scanning for recoverable Data was started, very slow and has need 27h for to complete, just that scanning! More than 4Million Files was found on that HDD and I needed to get look up and select all those relevant Data Files for the last 120days, which neede more than 8h! The recovery of those Data was done in 21h! A total of 290679 files with a total Data size of 786.18GB was recovered! Many of those files were saved in 2 folder: 1 NTFS and 2 NTFS! with a different size of total Data (difference: 197MB).

    Normally, the scanning of a 500GB HDD SATA3 is done within 3h-4h at max, and the Data Recovery for found files, depending on amount and size will be done within 1h-6h. According to Drevitalize 3, the and HX-Info, the drive speed and spinning are normally. Bad Sectors wasn't shown, just the sectors/clusters couldn't be accessed within a given timeframe.

    Because I didn't know, which one are the correct needed by that Lady, I had to save both of them on a 1TB HDD.

    I was trying to first normal format that damaged HDD after the recovery was done: that didn't work. I also try to do a Low-Level Format: not work either, LLFMT couldn't lock the drive for to start the Low-Level Format.

    Most of the time I used Active@ File Recovery and it always was working, just with this drive, it was the first time it didn't! Same was for those other apps.

    I also tried some other Recovery Tools, NONE of them was working! Only the Easeus Data Recovery Wizard was able to access that HDD and do the Job.

    If someone else will have similar problems with Data Recovery from damaged HDD's, Try different Recovery Apps, one of them may work.
