MFT / bad sectors problem - solutions good? log file attachd

#1 Post by goodflood »

Background: Did perhaps Windows update... but definitely did an AVG update which required reboot. It wouldn't reboot... hdd had a clicking noise.

Things tried:

technician tried to give more power to get hdd spinning.
I tried freezing hdd. Worked; was able to copy only one file.

created a test disk clone of data partition; it does not seem to mount/be accessible (because mft is bad??)

On seeing bad ntfs boot sector ; tried to rebuild boot sector / repair mft... stopped at where the prompt asks for sectors per cluster (wrong entry disasterous???)

Will getdataback or ntfswalker work??? Or does it look hopeless?

Here is my log file:
