Hi recuperation,

So many questions.....

What causes ATA Errors?
Also you said your drive had 42000h running time and mine has 15000h running time, how could I be getting that many ATA errors?


Im not questioning what your saying at all, I'm just super curious because this is knowledge I dont possess.


I am recommending you for saint hood at this point for being so helpful!
Thanks again

Ask the association.

I can only guess, I really don't know.
If the firmware sees an error and loops endlessly waiting for a successful termination of an operation maybe, who knows?

Hi recuperation,

This stuff is so interesting yet so damn confounding...
The problem is I don't know enough of The taught theory but, for better or worse, that's never stopped me before.


New developments with the drive!
I put it to the side and let it rest since the last go around the other day.
Since then the drive has stopped spinning up correctly.
It doesn't spin up on power up or on attempt to access the files.
It does however spin up slowly when I run the "Basic Health Test" but stops spinning shortly after the test begins.
The weird thing is it is passing the "Basic Health Test" again!
I'm currently running the "Extended Health Test" but it has another 1:38hrs to go.

Could this be a bad control board?

I will post the results when it finishes and maybe you can something I can't.

How do I post pictures on the forum?

I meant when I said last time, you have been extremely helpful and I appreciate it very much!!

Be precise. Which tests are you referring to?

Yes.

Use the file extension tab just below the "send" button.

Hi recuperation,

Sorry I didn't post back sooner I had an emergency this weekend.

I'm referring to the GSmartControl Basic Tests, both Short and Extended.
Both Tests say "PASSED" and " Completed Without Error, 100%". (Posted Picture)

After working with you this past week I'm understanding what I'm looking at a little more and the drive is definitely throwing Errors.
I missed it before because the tests keep saying "Passed" and I just don't know enough.
I really don't get it; the drive says "PASSED" every time but throws errors and still wont connect.

Below is the GSmart Log from the last "Extended Test".
I am also attaching screenshots I took of the last round of tests, so you can see what I'm talking about.

Edit: Having trouble with the picture size., will try again later.

As Always, Thanks for everything!!

Hi recuperation,

I was able to crop the pictures down so they fit...

Almost every software will start trying to read the device from sector 0 onwards, but some allow you to try the other way around (from end to start). If your damaged sectors are only at the start off the disk, you probably can get away with a dd rescue -R to another drive or file and then do the rest of forensics there,

I found myself there some years ago after a power failure. The interesting thing is that I managed to do a dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/affected-device and the read error was gone. I had to reconstruct the partition table from scratch and the mbr but the thing worked again (I then moved the data to a newer hd).

Hello Aleques,

this is an interesting finding, thanks for posting it.
I would personnally try out that hint but would not recommend it to others.

The drive in questions seems to fail already when running the IDENTIFY command.
It seems to loop that command, but the following post from Domenic is confusing:
Testdisk shows the drive but cannot analyze it, I get “Partition: Read Error”. I ran a quick scan and got read errors on what seemed like every cylinder.
If Testdisk shows the drive I assume the IDENTIFY command to be succesful.

Checking his log I found

199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count -O--CK 200 200 000 - 1

which might indicate a cabling issue.

If that error happens repeatedly I expect the count to go up.

Domenic should test/replace the interface cables or try to run the drive from a different motherboard or from a different interface (USB p.e.) trying to exclude the possibility of an interface error.

There is no additional hint I could give now.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate all the help!

Recuperation,
Yesterday I ran a TESTDISK "Analyze" and got a "Partition: Read error" again.
I then ran the "Quick Search", it ran for 6hrs or so and only got to 3%, it again errored on every cylinder.
I stopped the "Quick Search" because the ATA Error Count jumped from 3,000 to 59,000 and I was concerned about the platter.
Im convinced the data is still there and didnt want to cause further problems.
The drive seems to be spinning up correctly, I had my ear to it for a few min and still shows no signs of physical damage.
I will upload the pictures after this post.

Also I have attempted to connect the drive to a different machine running Windows7, through my USB SATA interface and got the same I/O error.
I currently have the drive connected directly to the motherboard and getting the same results in Windows10 and Parted Magic as before.
I am going to attempt to switch the control board on the drive at some point over the next few days and will let you know how that goes.


Aleques,
I have tried to run DDRescue from both the start and from the end of the drive, both times it faild with the same error.
I will attempt again and upload the screenshot of the error because it does not creat a log.
I ran a passive scan in DDResue from end to start last night as well and it ran for 54min with 0%.
So I again aborted because I dont want to cause damage to the platter.
I will upload the screenshot after this post as well.

Also, I am by no means fully knowledgeable here.
I am not working directly in Linux, I am using Parted Magic with the tools built in.
The interesting thing is that I managed to do a dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/affected-device and the read error was gone
What does this command attdmpt to do?
Is it something I can do through one of the tools built into Parted Magic?

Thanks again everybody!
