External Hard Drive failure. "Bad disk" after power failure
Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping to get some help. I had a power outage while my WD Elements 1.5 TB Hard drive was on. I wasn't accessing it but apparently that was enough.
I had a lot of important data on it but losing hope after unsuccessful attempts to use PhotoRec to get items off it.
It doesn't show as accessible in MyComputer but is detected. I've included what it shows under the "Manage" view of the drive.
I've also tried MiniTool Partition but it doesn't seem to be able to fix the partition. I've also tried Partition Bad Disk and it just shows the whole 1.5 TB drive as one bad block. It won't let me fix it either.
Does anyone have any other bits of advice? I'm at a loss as what to do. It seems the data is not recoverable. I can't figure out how to get it to show or even how to use it again.
Please see attachments.
I'm grateful for any ideas/help please. Thank you.
