But when I read the G-List again I get the same number or larger sometimes.

I need the MBR and MFT badly since the customer wants few files out of full 4tb, when I started imaging the drive it started to give me all black sectors after the imaging hit the first one, which marked the beginning of the partition and the MFT as bad sectors

Why would you touch the P-List if your intention is to recover the data?

The OP has said nothing about data recovery...
You should ask him the same question about the G-List.

No. It says conventional hard drives, which means Data Recovery and HDD Repair.

@LostDataSa, could you please upload your resource dump? I'd like to write a tool to analyse the P-list and G-list, but I need to see some working examples.
