Hello everybody,
So my laptop kissed the ground and the HDD got damaged . It's a WD5000LPVX from WD blue. When I powered up the PC it didn't recognize it anymore, so I opened it and connected through USB on another computer. It shows up like this.
I tried Recuva and GetDataBack but they weren't able to read it. So I tried TestDisk, It was able to display the following :
then :
But at the end it doesn't show anything.
I also tried PhotoRec, it showed the partitions, but wasn't able to recover anything.
So any ideas how to recover the partitions, or at least recover some files ?
