Quite Long Deep Search, lots of read errors
Posted: 06 Jul 2014, 21:07
Hi.
I have a hard disk Hitachi Deskstar with a capacity of 250 GB with two partitions that got damaged without any notice a month ago. I found about Testdisk on the web as a program that would help me to recover the "lost" archives and to make it "functional" again. I have applied a deep scan of it and it hasn't ended in one week long, getting lots of read errors. I can't attach a log file, since I would need to stop the process and I don't want to loose the week it has been processing. Is it normal that the Deep Scan takes that long? Am I hopeless about recovering my precious files? Any advice would do. Thanks in advance for your response.
