Still waiting for update. Am afraid whether my hdd would give up if its late.

Can anyone help please. Are the suggested steps done on a clone or the problem disk.

This is what I see in Advanced option.But please note that this is in the problem disk. I have not cloned yet. Should I try cloning ?

As mentioned before the only options I see in advanced mode are Type and Image Creation.

Should I clone first to new hdd and then try on the clone if I get these options?

Any update pls

I tried the Advanced mode but yes as you mentioned there was no Boot and BackupBS option.
Referred to my logs on this forum dated 14Oct2017, this hdd is NTFS format.

I have posted a similar query a year ago and got a very helpful solution to recover my data. Now an year after my new harddisk just 1 year old has got a similar issue. The harddisk is not accessible any more. Not detected in the windows file explorer. Only thing is the USB device connected logo ...

Thanks buddy... thks a lot !! I am finally able to view my data. Just adding to it, I did a chksk in readmode after the data recovery and this is on the newly bought hdd last week just used for this recovery process. I do observe a very small bit of bad sector pointed out by chkdsk. Is it something ...

Should I try the cloning on a 2TB hdd or these errors are not due to that incomplete issue ( 99.99 % copy ).

Now my new harddisk (the one bought couple of days back) is behaving exactly the same way as my old one i.e cannot see it in the file explorer. Also attached below the testdisk/chkdsk logs on it :
