How was the drive used by the customer? In an external? What kind of system? Any other details?

[DRCP]

Its internal HDD .Connected secondary HDD for data storage(with single partition on win XP)
Even if i tried raw recovery its shows data but unable to open

Can you read LBA's all the way to the end of the drive?

[DRCP]

yes i can read

[einstein9]

yes i can read

when u tried RAW did you get working JPG`s (for example) or all damaged?

(since i hate seagate, i prefer in such case to CLONE IT) then do whatever you are doing)

IF jpg`s are ALL DAMAGED IN RAW, i can think only of 1 things = ur client.

good luck

Clone it as per einstein9's sensible suggestion.

Then scan it with other recovery sw such as rstudio, UFS explorer, GDB etc...

problem resolved thanks gurus

What was the issue?

i again discussed with customer ,he said that drive is compressed drive.
initially just i tried raw recovery and checked some jpg files which was currupt.
then i found Z represents for zip so i recovered some folders which was dcm files so cant open with regular viewer its showing corrupt files (due to that reason i confused and whole hdd contains only dcm files)
then i installed DCM viewer and checked data .(all ok)

thanks gurus for kindly help specially labtech,pcimage & einstein9 (the super gurus helping us )
