Hi everyone!

I'm looking for advice from head that is smarter than mine :-))
When I run MHDD scan on my Maxtor, it shows UNC error on LBA 63 in the very begin of HDD
Is the data on HDD still restorable in this case or FAT is already corrupted?
Thank You

Hi,

If only LBA 63 is damaged, the data should be recoverable.

Location: In ur HDD !
but most of the times i have seen when LBA 63 is damaged most if the sectors are damaged within the drive . Check and tell that only one sector is damaged or the whole drive .

Thank You for reply
That Maxtor HDD has only a few bad sectors across entire space, but when I dropped image from it to another drive, windows recognizes it as unformatted disk :-(
So, I try to figure out another way to survive data

LBA 63 is a partition boot sector. In NTFS you can usually find its copy in the last sector of the partition and copy it over to 63.
Also you can use any logical data recovery tool like R-Studio or GetDataBack and they should do the job for you.
