as far as I know recuva is the best software out there for recovery it never filed me. I had this 1 year old wd my passport external hard disk (1TB) which recently started showing bad sector related problems.I thought of backing up the files but it was nearly full and I didn't had 900GB+ space in my pc so I bought a new internal HD but before I could do anything, my passport just died, I was forced to format the drive so that windows can detect it.
after all that,now i'm trying to recover all the data using recuva (deep scan) but it just sits there with '0% complete' and 'calculating time left' message it's been like that for an hour now last time when I tried it in my laptop it took 3 days to recover some 60 gb file since I stopped the task in the middle what should i do know ?
EDIT : OMG now it's saying estimated time left 9 days !!
