hello friends,
i had an 1,5 tb external hdd drive from western digital with some bad sectors. so i used hdd regenerator 1.61 to fix the broken sektors it had fixed about 200 before i went to bed. this morning when i returned to my computer hdd regenerator had stopped showing an error that my external hdd could not be found. so i restarted my computer and now my harddrive is lost. when im using R-Studio it shows my harddrive but the size is -1 what the heck? i cant belive that hdd-regenerator which should help me in some way destroyed all of my files. you would save my @ss if you could help me anyway. thanks,

it's a shame you didn't use this forum before running HDD Terminator. You must seek pro help.

so any opinions on what went wrong?
is there no possibilty to rescue any data?

or has anyone any idea how to formate it?

Another victim... Most probably the problem was head related in the beginning, now ... ???

after reading a few threads it seems that it was a really really bad idea to use this so called terminator. so even if the files are gone, maybe someone has a suggestion to formate the device or anything like this? or is the only solution to throw it away?

Most probably the drive is self-isolated and only pro intervention can try to revive it. Connect the drive directly to a pc and see if it is recognised correctly at POST. if not /seen with factory alias, there's nothing you can do without professional equipment.

okay thanks
i tried it via sata but it didn't showed up. guess i have to save some money for future.
do you know how much the average price is for rescuring at least some of the files?

Everything depends on what happened - diagnose first.
