I am borrowing a drive large enough to make a 1to1 copy with dd-rescue-gui. The copy is going to take ~2 days. You said my drive was reporting a drop, I looked and didn't see that listed anywhere. Where did I miss it? thanks

You aren't wrong. I bought two 16TB drives for that reason, but the second drive now has partially recovered data. My data is prior DAW and video work

Are you aware of any way or tool to "look for path or directory named xxxxx" scans? Cheers. I donated a minuscule $4 euro, it is all I can afford ...

Drive was brand new, and never fell physically.
Your question was what happened to cause the problem. I had a stick of RAM go bad, causing BSOD reboots randomly for a week until I diagnosed the RAM was bad.

Any experience with mismatch heads/cylinder errors or bad jumps in the FAT partition ...

wanted to see if you could advise. It has been difficult not to reboot for two weeks straight so the disk analysis can finish. I am 62% completed after 7 days, my initial estimate was 11 days but it looks like I was off by a bit.

In any case, here are the warning shown thus far (see screenshot ...

Log file just said read error then proceeded to list every single read attempt. I am also stating I now am getting other tools that say there is hard drive corruption, so let's forget this item.

The log file for Please wait was only a dozen or so lines, there were no additional updates. I rebooted ...

Roger, and thank you.
I kept getting stuck where it was listing read errors, but the drive scans fine with other tools.

I downloaded the tool, selected append, and now it is hung at "Please Wait..."

On another note: When the tool hangs, such as USB connection to drive drops, the tool hangs and ...

Feedback, hopefully, you will heed. The article I was reading stated you had to read the manual to know how to use the util and it linked to your download page and as such, I missed out on important info, namely your step-by-step.
I took your advice to List files, which I didn't get that idea from ...

It continues.. Is it supposed to do this? Maybe I messed up on the numbers. Maybe the screenshot syndrome has kicked in?

Nope, I added commas. Maybe it is counting to the size in sectors #?

Log file is unchanged.

I eliminated the system problems.

Please advise.,
thanks!
