Hi, i try to recover data from a Maxtor 6Y080L0. On http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/e ... uage=en_US there details about CHS:
ACTUAL CYL 158,816
MAX CYL 16,383
But I know, that the maximum cylinder size can be max 65,536. So I think that MAX CYL should be the correct value.
The second problem is, that PhotoRec shows me 1600086528 cylinders (Screenshot below).
What is the correct value?

Re: Cylinder size
If your disk capacity is correct, don't bother with the number of cylinders.
