NemoNymus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I've run recuva succesfully in the past with great success, but now I've run into a big wall. A friend of mine asked me to check 2 2.5" 750GB drives that are no longer recognized by the computer. One of this drives freezes my whole computer, and the other one was in RAW format. After several atempts, I could run a deep scan for some files in 3 or 4 days with great succes, but the drive would disconnect or the program would crash completely on me. But several tries after that, the number of scanned files would stop at 9x,xxx, but at the beggining it was closer to 1,xxx,xxx (estimated numbers, I don't really remember the exact number). Since the drive was already in RAW, and I had to format it anyways when it was all over, I decided to format the entire disk, but didn't write any new files or information, to prevent corruption of the deleted files. I thought this would resolve my problems, but I had the same problem. I've tried with other free recovery programs, and even used EaseUs in full recovery, but no matter the program, the file search doesnt go up from 90,000. Another thing that I've tried to do is run the command prompt with chkdsk /f /r. It run for a whole week and each day the number of sectors would increase, but I cut the command because I got desperate (One whole week was too much time for me) As far as I can tell, there's no noise comming from the drives, so I don't think that they're phisically damaged. What should I do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted October 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2017 No longer recognised, freezes pc, RAW format, program crashes, formatted, chkdsk, silent drives.... I think it's probably time to invest in some new disks. It's not even clear if you're looking for something in particular or just looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoNymus Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'm trying to save as much as possible, but I was asked to look for photos and some files, but I don't know the location.I know is complex, and yeah, we are going to invest in new drives, but we try so save as much data as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
