If file pointers (MBR, GPT) are corrupt, sometimes that sort of thing can be rebuilt. Once data is actually lost due to a hardware problem it is very difficult to get that specific data back.

SpinRite is the only program I've tried to use, when I had a drive close to completely crashing as it sounds like yours is, and that drive went completely down during the process and I ended up getting nothing from it. However, this is a long drawn out process and a drive like yours, seeming so close to failure, probably wouldn't survive the process.

If the issue with the hard drive is such that some data is lost and some is not, there are software solutions to pull the good data off. But if the actuator arm had 'scratched' the disk there would have been data loss. My only option would have been to pay a company a few thousand dollars to remove the platters in a clean room and put them into a new hard drive (or a specialized machine maybe?) and pull the data off the platters. For instance, I had an actuator arm in a hard drive go out.

Unfortunately hardware failure can cause data loss which cannot be recovered.Īs far as software which might be able to fix these types of issues it depends on the type of failure. The reason why drive imaging companies stand to make a lot of money is because it is best to create images before hardware failure to be prepared in case it happens.

in Windows I ran Macrium Reflect 5 to clone the disk to a new 2TB drive. rebooted with Windows PE and ran CHKDSK H: /f on the the drive.Ģ. It also recommended hardware replacement.ġ. I ran Acronis Drive Monitor which reported bad blocks on the drive. My Western Digital 2 TB hard drive (WD2002FAEX) was running slowly.
