corrupted disk - testdisk reading error - please help

#1 Post by jds3 »

Hello,
I am new here and was wondering if someone can please what to do...
I have 750 GB hard drive which was working under windows 7 as a backup disk- but it's dead now.
it still can display the drive and first level folders under windows, but most folders can't access to it.
I tried to use testdisk under Ubuntu to recover it, got reading errors
Can anyone please provide me the guidance/advice on what to do next
Thanks in advance
James

Unfortunately I can't access most files, because your photos are not shared correctly.
Can you check your disk using crystaldiskinfo on windows?
http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html
Please use the portable version.
It's intended to watch the status of your disk.
Partition read eror means, that your partition table and MBR is not readable.
How is your disk listed in your windows disk management console?
Did you receive a lot of read errors?

Thanks Fiona
Yes the reading errors are all the way to the end of the process.
I will reply with result of crystaldiskinfo shortly, I should run it under windows right?

Hi Fiona,
Sorry it's took a bit long...
I wasn't able to get it load up into crystaldiskinfo - I was able to do it yesterday for sure, but not today. The program opens a windows without any disk displayed. I then switched the disk port and try again - windows says "one of your disk needs to be checked for consistency" .... keep checking forever with lost reading errors.
So I switched to another PC. the windows load up, the disk management displayed my disk- see screen shot below
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B39jb ... jBVNUkxbEU -- hope you can view it, if not please let me know where is better for you to load on
but when I open crystaldiskinfo I still can't get the info of my disk -the other 2 disk displayed properly
I can still see my drive under windows
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B39jb ... EdGNGd1TTA

the 750 GB drive is the one having issues
Please advise what should I do from here
Thanks very much
James

CrystalDiskInfo displayed CAUTION only.
But it doesn´t explain all the read errors.
Might be possible that storage management (LBA) is affected too?
Disk controller can cause it too.
Can you have a look into your eventviewer under system for messages like disk?
Please run the diagnose utility of your disk manufacturer.
It's a try to narrow down the message.
I can't access your uploaded pictures and already sent a request to access it.
You can upload photos in low resolution in our forum too.
