But your already "mucking" around in the terminal so your chances of doing anything "wrong' are close to 100% a very dangerous place to "play" if you don't know the commands and what they do. The symptom looks a lot like bad heads which would not be DIY. It also could be firmware corruption again no pro tools no DIY. wish I had better news to share if you have any backups I suggest another drive and a restore

Sadly, this is a no money = no data case

[speedlover]

sory to hear that from you

[harddrivespecialist]

Have to agree with BlackST and Networks...
One wrong move and cost of recovery will triple...
PCimage will help you for very reasonable money.

hi again,

last week i send the disk to a pro (whom i previously know and recovered for a cost), and waited to hear from him for 3 days. unfortunately he said that he is unable to recover data from that disk. as he said the disc surface is unreadable. i took the disk back. see that he did not open disc. asked him what to do next, he answered to send disc to seagete, may be they can recover for a cost of approximately min. 3000-4000euros.
are you agree?

note: the disc isn't mine. and i don't know if the owner send the disc to recovery before giving to me. if so is it possible to take data from it and make it unreadable and delete?

thanks for your replies and sorry for my bad language.

Looks too high for this case I think.

I think you should hand the drive to a trusted pro who will perform accurate diagnostics (instead of "surface unreadable") and quote you for recovery.
$3000-$4000 is a bit steep in my opinion.
Contact PCImage he will diagnose drive and quote for recovery. I am almost sure the final cost will be a portion of the one mentioned.
