Hard Drive Error, pls help!!! see WInHex screenshots
Hi pls I need someone to guide me. My laptop won't boot because of a hard drive error. The hard drive was removed and connected via USB, igt shows as unallocated and uninitialized under disk mgt and not recognized under my computer. I have tried data recovery softwares such as mini tool partition, easeus, roadkill etc most of them say cant read disk, bad sectors, or won't recognize the drive. Winhex seems to be the only one i have made little progress with, initially (and sometimes) it saw the drive as unpartitioned and unallocated but lately it is showing a partition table. I have attached screen grabs of the WinHex screenshot partition table/sectors. I know there are bad sectors ( see partition 3), and it says data redundancy cyclic error (something like that). Pls can anyone figure out what the disk status is and how and if I can recover data from it based on the winhex outputs. I have 2 chapters of my thesis in there that I didn't back up, was working on a section when the laptop won't turn on after a shutdown. My deadline is near and i am at a loss over what to do. Thank you. Hope the post makes sense. If anyone is willing to remote help me or anything or over the phone i will appreciate it.
Does it look like i can recover my data pls?
Thank you
