Then you can try recovering the data from the image.
#Passport for mac initiate backup software
I would not advise you to connect the HDD to other devices or run any other recovery software until you decide that no more data could be recovered through copy-paste.Īnother thing you can try is to download Acronis True Image WD edition and try to image the drive on your computer. The bad thing is that the HDD is unresponsive to most the the software/utilities(even the chkdsk) and you may need to back up as much as you can of your data with copy-pasting. Too many bad sectors could be the reason for the issues you are facing. So only asked if anything is missing from technical perspective which can be recovered through some software. If the above theory stand still as true, in that case it is applicable for all media read devices right ?

No other temporary/easy way.īut, any idea why my harddisk is perfectly working on TV ? when I say "perfect" could able to play all the vidoes and pictures without any lag or anything as in trouble. Try connecting the hard drive to any other computer or laptop and copy the files you need. Thus, a/set of damaged cluster/sectors not only makes a single file to corrupt or unreadable, makes other files dead too. So the needle takes more time to find the data when the HDD is spinning at 5400 pm and takes less time when spinning at 7200 rpm)." (that's why the HDD platters spins while doing work, the needle detects where the data are stored along the rotating platters. The HDD stores it randomly over the entire storage. So, a file of certain (say 10 MB) will not be copied such that it fills cluster 1 then cluster 2 then cluster 3, etc. "For traditional hard disk drives (normal use hard drives), one sector is sized with 512 Bytes and one cluster is sized as 4 KB for NTFS format HDDs (HDDs with volume up to 16 TB). Platters contain the clusters and each cluster has many sectors. Any other backup software could help on this regard? I am tired of copying file by doing plug in and plug out. I still have the warranty and when I contacted WD support, they asked me to take the backup and attempt complete format of disk once before claim RMA. Test Error Code: 08-Too many bad sectors detected. Downloaded and ran "Data lifeguard diagnostic" which resulted in below error. Ran the diagnostic software came with the WD Drive Utilities (Quick test Passed and extended test failed)

Attempted to do Windows disk cleanup - Failed (resulted in error saying format this disc) Under disk management (10 out 7 times) able to see the FS type as NTFS and partition status as healthy. Attempted to recover the files using Recuva software which resulted in an error "Unable to detect file system" Changed the cable with original WD (friends WD cable with same spec) and observed same behavior Attempted plugging hard drive in my friend laptop and observed same behavior (after a minute not able to access any folder or files ) Attempted to copy that file (went fast into that folder) and copied to local harddisk (one in my laptop) and able to open and copy it. When I attempt to access (open/delete) that document, it resulted in an IO error or file access got stalled. When I plug the hard drive on my laptop, it got detected (7 success out of 10) and able to go till the document (say 3 nested folder). I am holding one WD external hard disk past an year and suddenly (since last week) started facing few problems and today it ended up in something big as below.
