Hello,

This scan has been a weird one. The drive was dropped on the floor when it was off, but only mounts as a nondescript D: drive and on my mac, I can only initialize or reformat.

I initialized the drive to mount it and then proceeded to the analyse on deep search which so far looks like this:

The confusing part is it has been running for over two days and the sector count has a ratio greater than one. Is this worth continuing or is there something wrong with this and I should cancel the scan? Any help would be appreciated in determining how damaged this drive (and the files I can't access) is.

kind regards,
a.
