Unallocated non partition 2TB External HDD recovery

October 13th, 2020, 10:14

Dear Sirs

I am using WD 2TB Hard Drive with no partitions I stored my data in this hard disk making without any partition.
I plugged in this drive after 4 months so it shows unallocated drive not showing in My computer with no letter of
drive. I have most important data of my PC's in this hard dive.

When i checked on disk manager so it shows like that

Image

Image

I used test disk with No Log option
Image

Select my 2TB Drive
Image

I select non partitioned media (cause i didn't make partition)
Image

I select NTFS type.
Image

In boot Option i found Bad boot sector, backup boot sector was also bad but sectors are identical
Image

Image

When i select Rebuild BS so it taking tooo much time
Image

Image

When i am calculating so it will take 366 days to complete this process means a year and its
not possible to open my PC for a year. I also done deep search on test disk after 4 days deep
search will also not work for me even on Intel & EFI GPT.

Does anybody have good idea how can i recover my data from this hard disk and after that make
this hard disk again usable. I am not really pro i am trying to understand the test disk software.
I recovered my old hard disk before but how can i recover this type of hard disk in easy way.

I also checked my hard disk S.M.A.R.T status its also found good as below

I also work with DMDE and when i search for parameters so i got LBA0 errors i didn't click on update
cause of some warnings i click ignore all so its working like that maybe its getting hard disk parameters.
the first search is completed so quickly but after that i run full scan as below
Image

I think the LBA 0 is a bad sector now cause DMDE is also not able to find MBR. When i started DMDE full scan so it shows me this below error
Image

from LBA0 to LBA3906963455

Don't know how i can recover my data from this disk and i am not a pro i am just following steps.
Somebody refer me from cgsecurity that you should try hddguru so now i am here

but i opened the plastic case of my hard disk so i found some carbon material near usb port i cleared
it with eraser but after that it's look like below

Image

Image

I just open the plastic case and again i reassembled the plastic case of hard disk. I didn't
open it cause i don't want to waste my data. How can i recover my data anybody got some
point from this post. Please help !
