youngplayer9 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I am running in advanced with search for non-deleted checked. The harddrive is an external enclosure made from my old tower's main drive that gave me a S.M.A.R.T. warning when booting up and I am now just getting around to trying to recover it. But like I said: 1. It sees the harddrive, although says "parameters not found" or similar error when I try to browse in it, just like explorer does(btw I am using 7 if that makes a difference) 2. It starts off pretty quick gets up to 13% 3. Says like 30 seconds left then just stops there and the estimated time left just continuously rises. No matter what I am searching for, the folder name, or just pictures in general it gets stuck at 13%. Am I totally helpless in getting these photos off the drive? If reuva can't save it from a damaged drive will any of the pay for programs do a better job? Thanks for your time, Corey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It sounds like your drive has bad sectors you will need a tool to repair this otherwise you'll stick be stuck at 13% I would recommend MHDD - http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/ it's a freeware low level sector scanner and repair tool. When you start the program make sure "Remap" is set to "ON". Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngplayer9 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks Richard, For what its worth I have let it run for a few hours now and it is up to 15%, but I think I am going to go ahead and use the low level repair tool you mentioned to see if that works. If not I will let recuva run until it gets a fatal error or something. Thanks for the reply Corey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
