Yes, the drive has 1 partition, and the partition recovery wizard is showing that the dive has 149.03 GB of space. Every option is grayed out and I can't do any surface test, or partition deleting, etc, etc, etc... all i can do is the partition recovery that i have done before, and witch has done 12% for 3 hours...

I had some success with using cheap 6$ external usb hard drive adapters from microcenter,
as hooking up a bad drive is a little more forgiving in usb then straight on the sata port.
Hasnt always worked, one drive I have is completly useless.. but 2 others I was able to have them active long enough to get off my files.

ALL options including Both disk and partition for the bad drive... That's not the case for my system disk (witch is working properly), so that means the program is working fine, and the problem is laying in the disk itself!
Device manager recognizes the drive, but mini tool doesn't.
