Drive gone RAW

#1 Post by jools1976 »

Hello. I have a 2TB Seagate OneTouch which has recently gone RAW and I can no longer access the data. I've run Testdisk Create-->Selected Drive-->Intel Partition-->Analyze and see the following:

Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive3 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - CHS 243201 255 63
Current partition structure:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
1 P HPFS - NTFS 0 32 33 243201 78 13 3907026944

Bad relative sector.
No partition is bootable

When I run both Quick Search and Deeper Search, no partitions are found.

I've also run Advanced-->Boot and get this:

Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive3 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - CHS 243201 255 63
Partition Start End Size in sectors
1 P HPFS - NTFS 0 32 33 243201 78 13 3907026944

Boot sector
Bad: can't read exFAT boot record.

Backup boot record
exFAT OK

Sectors are not identical.

When I run Rebuild BS, Searching for FAT table gets to 99%, and it doesn't give me an option to list. I can upload the log file if needed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you use the "p"-key trying to look into the partition found?

Unfortunately it isn't giving me that option. This is what I get after Quick Search:

Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive3 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - CHS 243201 255 63
Partition Start End Size in sectors








Keys A: add partition, L: load backup, Enter: to continue

If I select Continue I get this:

Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive3 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - CHS 243201 255 63

Partition Start End Size in sectors

No partition found or selected for recovery

**EDIT**

Exact same result with Deeper Search

If you left your drive within its original housing I have no additional hint for you other than trying other recovery software.
