A drive with physical problems, before you image it, you have to fix it's problems.

The best its did a good diagnostic, the most important its not tried to undestando how a tool works, the most important on my humble opinion its how a hdd works before u start to works on x hdd after u figure out what´s happening wich x hdd´s wich is the cause then u got all the points to get data back :D
not all the time but on the most cases

Best Regards

Depends on what failed. on bigger drives you can recover data with 1 failed head if its something small like a doc file without replacing heads.

if the hard drive is dying, try to finish your backup on another disk before its last breath;
if it's dead,try to bring it back to life with help of HD Doctor.

Or you can give us more symptoms of your hdd.

good luck and regards,

Laura Lee

I tried to clone it using HDD Clone but it gave me nothing, i tried HD Doctor (Salvation Data) but the seems not want to come back,

p.s Laura Lee your HD Doctor refused to work, I can load the drive on the HDD Management but after that the drive stops spinning. So practically there is nothing i can do with HDD Doctor. It's a seagate drive 40GB Model ST3400014a.
