Probably you used hdd regenerator small time, try again it. Data from my drive was extracted during two weeks in one dr company , i think they have started those hdd regenerator few times.

No, do not use hdd regenerator.

Your drive needs to be cloned/imaged, not beaten to death

couldn't you do it yourself instead of sending the drive to 'dr company' then ? :mrgreen:
p.s. It's a bad idea to use such sw. on failing drive/important data!
