This statement is a little contradictory.

it is a seagate barracuda 3TB. DM series.

HDD was imaged minus the scratched parts, after which data was found to corrupted. Do you guys know how to make it readable?

Why would the OP be posting questions from different vantage points? If they choose to ignore the answers and continue to ask the same questions, I stop giving advice.

"Why would the OP be posting questions from different vantage points?"
OP not necessarily; however, often, the answers, coming from different folks, might be coming from ways they see the situation, ways they would approach the situation, hence my earlier reference to different vantage points.
