Realy Important Data in hdd, Seagate ST31000524AS

[titokhonan]

Hello guys, i need to recover a realy important DATA on this hdd, every megabyte has invaluable information, it´s my personal hdd, it just stop working

it´s a ST31000524AS 7200.12

Spildit and Gurus: if i could, i take this hdd to a profeccional to recover the info, but i can´t, it´s too expecive for me to travel to another country, and here in Cuba there is no profeccional company to recover the data.

i put the HDD on a pc, the pc slows down, and then bios do not detect it. AHCI RAID and IDE, do not get detected by bios.
When i use victoria pio mode, and open the HDD port, it just get BSY.

What can i do, Data on this HDD it´s INVALUABLE!!! for me

[data-medics]

It is likely a firmware malfunction, possibly related to the media cache or sector re-allocation functions of the drive.

If the data is as important as you say, you should really get it to someone with professional tools like PC-3000 to properly diagnose it.

Did you hear about post offices? Ship it to someone skilled for negotiated price is much preferable in your case. Its just like " I want to travel to space! Tell me how to get there for $1 !!!"

Based on this thread, it seems you should have enough experience to know what to do in order to receive some help!
More specifically, post some pictures of the drive and load them up here, then post terminal output on power up, then describe the drive's behavior (clicks? spin down? what exactly is it doing on power on?)

Reach out to your friend in Cuba, Oleg for immediate advice.

[ddrecovery]

OP listen to these guys. Its good advice.

[scratchy]

Pay attention to spildit. If you use 7200.11 fixes on this drive there is a chance you will make the problem worse (more expensive)

Goes without saying ....

DO NOT REGEN TRANSLATOR ON THIS DRIVE WITH 2700.11 COMMANDS POSTED ON THE NET .....

yes like as spildit say do not regenrate translator on 720012 series or you end up with partial access problem
say goodby to your data

Nobody needs your "help" since you cant understand what the problem is.How can you advice something when you know really nothing about HDDs? Your brain still cant understand that when a person needs data - just typing silly commands without its understanding can spoil data.

OP didn't post any log yet so "understanding" the problem at this stage is impossible. Only "possible" thing to do is "guessing" and that will not help the OP as one needs to know exactly what is wrong in order to "bypass" the problem temporarly to gain access to the data and then when the data is extracted to a safe place and confirmed to be valid and intact the drive should never be used again.

he dosent log yet but i has before many 31000524as drives that fixed easy

Including the ones with bad heads ? And with bad surface ? Fixed easy with terminal only ?

no this hdds only have firmware problem head and surface was ok

[mmzhr]

How did you fix those drives ? Clearing S.M.A.R.T. ?

no i fixed those drive with commands that send it to you in pm

Commands that you did send to me in PM will only disable background media scan, etc .... I posted those on my forum several YEARS ago ... It will NOT fix drive (like fix bad sectors) it will just facilitate or allow for data to be copied bypassing "pending bug", etc .... Nothing special about those commands and nothing "secret" as they were posted several years ago ...

yes disable reallocating published before but sct timer and trace flage dont share it before

yes i only can cut head and other fixes
i see image and surface rings

[mmzhr]

Even if you could cut head on that drive dust inside the drive already damaged all heads and platters.

You can't fix modern seagate because they are junk. Just buy Hitachi.

i dont know why all hitachi hdds that importing in iran are junk
