Hi.

I have a faulty HDD that I was trying to recover any data I can from.
I have a portable 320GB Toshiba drive, and my main faulty HDD WD 160GB.

I booted with Hirens on USB and ran RawCopy.
By mistake, I made the Toshiba the source and the WD the dest. (The Toshiba was empty, just formatted)
After a few seconds I realized my mistake and cancelled the operation.
Now, my WD is appearing as if it does not have any partitions.

Is there a way to recover from this? I'm sure most of the data is still on the drive.

Please help !!!! Very important files on this drive.

Thanks

Why is the HDD faulty? Symptoms? Reports?

I heard some strange noises from it.
Windows started booting but could never finish.

I was able to view the files after booting from USB, but most efforts of copying the data from it crashed.

Then I tried using RawCopy and messed it up even more

Mhhh, probably has developed some sort of internal mechanical failure, in addition to sector reading issues.

If the data is important, perhaps the best course of action is professional help.
