I have used many datarecovery but find nothing. I think file system is damaged or only MBR is not readable?

Can you tell me how to clone a RAW drive ?

I am using Ubuntu from USB Flash Drive and its showing me all data and it makes me happy but when I try to copy its say

there was an error copying the file into /media/ubuntu/Local Disk

Moreover, every data which I copied to other drive showing 0 bytes instead of notepad files which are showing actual size and working good.

Did you create an overlay on your USB flash drive to copy data to?
You should run a terminal as superuser like:
sudo -s
How did you solve your issue?

Hi JK22

Can you detail the process for recovery that you have followed in getting this harddrive back?

I am in the same state as in you. Appreciate all your help.

Thanks
