Hello there.
I'm using HDDLiveCD trying to clone this drive and didn't know after 10 days that it was a way to speed up the process on slow WD drives. I'd tried again from phase 1 in Direct AHCI mode, hiding the port of the drive on boot (As shown on one of HDDSuperclone youtube videos). I'd achieved a 92% of progress on phase 1, but now every time pops-up a window saying that "Failed to perform identify device command" (log1). When I've to select the source drive sometimes appears as busy, but when trying again it appears with his serial.

I don't know If this is the proper workflow of HDDSuperclone, but every time I try to resume my project from the same 92%, but using another port or mode, all the information on the interface is zeroed out (log2). When I start the process, in about 10 seconds all the phases finishes but with no progress at all.
Thanks in advance from any help you can bring!

(Backstory: An acquaintance of mine bring me this disc with some important information, after I tell him to go with someone professional on data recovery. He didn't listen and here am I.)





I'd edited this log to add the size again to see if it does something, but keeps doing the same thing

You shouldn't really need Direct AHCI mode. Looking at the log you have all but the last sectors so unless the drive was at capacity you have probably copied all of the actual data.

Reboot, re-enable the sata port, reselect the source drive. If it doesn't show chances are its died whilst being cloned. Then try reading in reverse or using phase 2.

In passtrough mode it was only reaching 37kbs at max. That's why I was using Direct AHCI mode, enabling read twice on timeout and default phase timers.
I was able now to run phase 2 on passtrough but it's barely reaching 500kbs (for me, an those 10 days at 37kbs,it's kinda a lot). Thanks you for your reply!
