Help appreciated

My Poweredge locked up Saturday. Reboot showed read error ctrl alt del required.

I downloaded MHDD per suggestion and started

It has found many UNC and AMNF

The drive is SATA. I do have second SATA drive bot no clone software.


What do i do?

Can you please specify.
What for Configuration you are running on the Poweredge server?
RAID 0
RAID 1
RAID 5
JOBD
?
And is this OS drive, or file drive?

Does drive recognise in BIOS OK?

If so then you may have bad sectors/partial head failure.

If not, you may have a firmware problem.

Either way, dont think pure software solution will cure.

You need to contact a DR recovery company, if you require data.

JOBD. OS and files.



Yes BIOS sees the drive. If I use a boot cd that has NTFS support it shows it as unreadable. I'd like to get back any files that are salvagable.

I know drive is not under warranty now

HDD Regenerator is still running
19143 bad sectors so far. Claims to have recovered all of them

You can try a good cloning tool, with reverse sector clone function.
If this doesn't work, I would recommend sending it in for recovery.

Stop the HDD regen.

All it does is add the dodgy/weak sectors to the G-List.

When that is full, then you have problems.

Get it sent in for professional imaging.

I can try for you, I have Deepspar imager.

Cheers
