reverse image on 0 LBA drive

Is it possible? with what tool?

[drc]

you won't be able to do anything at all with your drive until the LBA 0 problem is fixed, which requires specialized hardware. there is really no way around it.

Yes it is possible, with PC3000 & Data Extractor. Just search google for a free trial download


Seriously, this is a common failure with the firmware and requires specialised equipment to repair. The only way you will get this disk accessible is to consult a professional.

Yes it is possible : first, dig in your pockets a pack of $100 bills, buy PC3000 UDMA... fix the drive, and the drive can THEN be imaged in normal, reverse, high speed, slow motion and upside-down mode, even without the PC3000 UDMA connected.

P.S. if you read 0 (zero) from left to right or inverse, it's always zero. .

P.P.S. didn't mention the yearly cost of the support. You thought it was for free? Wrong.

PC3000 UDMA costs ? how much?

PC3000 UDMA costs ? how much?

Trust me when I say you would be better off sending to a professional. PC3000 UDMA will cost several thousand euros, will take several weeks to arrive, will take you a while to get to grips with the utility and will require good understanding of firmware and knowledge and experience of how to repair. Also, as you will need support, you will need to pay extra for the technical support. You then run the risk of typing a wrong terminal command, or clicking wrong button and causing unrecoverable changes to your HDD. All for the sake of a single disk? Save yourself your time and money and send to someone who can help. Where are you based? I am sure there are many experts here who can help.
