PS.. at 78Gb, 8% with no more errors. It is slow because the drive is hooked in by usb-sata cable.

Hi Franc, I dont recall seing this message, I must have missed it today while at work and trying to do 20 things at once..

I have whipped back into work to check and it seems though PFAM couldnt mount it, it could image it. The image was done, 931Gb.

GetataBack for NTFS is going through it now, and I see alot of filenames scrolling past. Will see the outcome tomorrow, and I will still continue with locating an enclosure and checking the sectors you mentioned.
Many many thanks to you all.

I must mention this is a lesson in what not to do - fumble around when you are unsure of commands you are running.

All data recovered from this drive. All file types I have tested open perfectly. Thanks alot to fzabkar, spildit and others that helped and the other commenters that took an interest.

HaQue,

Good day Haque,
