hello

we have ES.2 with many bad blocks.
the drive is not responding after he get on bad sector.

does anobody have solution how to get to the MFT?
the errors are only at MFT section

at MFT are defect the most important folders, and hdd hangs on errors

Hi,

If the drive stops responding because of the drive has bad blocks you will need to use specialist imaging hardware that can do both software or hardware resets of the drive & then continue imaging ie Deepspar DDI (lots of ££££) Not a DIY fix.
My advice is to take it to a PRO.

Anyway just for info:
You would need to get an image of the drive & then try & recover the data from the image.

If the MFT is corrupted testdisk might be able to repair it from the $Mftmirr.
If its too corrupted I think Runtime's Disk Explorer for NTFS on the image created then >Tools>Create Virtual Volume will try to rebuild the MFT (can anyone confirm this?)

Remember that if you try the DIY route & screw it up its your fault. Any data recovery costs would then be higher if the data can be recovered at all.
