I will apreciate some advices on my problem. I have an HDD external (over USB) but one day it fail and my OS (W7) doesn`t recognize it anymore. I connected my HDD trougth SATA to my PC and i`m running photorecovery. I tried with partition recovery but take so much time and without results. In photorecovery, the interface show me errors in the reading of the blocks, i want to be sure if it is common, photorecovery says that left 11793 hours...
Wath do you think? I have to leave the program running or it is done and my data is lost?
PD: Sorry my Inglish...

Re: Damage on HDD, Using Photorecovery
The disk is probably physically damaged, it's why you get all those error messages. If you really want to recover your data, you will have to contact a specialized data recovery company.
