Hi, I Have 2010 Seagate and have the error on startup SMART Status Bad Backup and Replace Error
The disk still read in Disk Management but unallocated?

Is safe to use UFS to read the data?
Or have ane idea to read the data back?

Thanks for your information.

Regards

I would clone it first (with ddrescue for example) and then run the recovery s/w on the clone, as it sounds like the drive is dying.

Just be glad Segate gave you a warning

Don't work with the original drive cause it is already degraded. Clone to a new drive like Pcimage said, then work with the cloned copy using UFS, R-Studio etc.

I try to read using UFS and r studio but no result. the drive not show in the hardisk list, but in hd tune and disk management the drive is show.
how to make this drive is readable by ufs or r-studio?

I don't have another hd for clone the drive.
and that your suggestion is that work for i/o hardisk error?

Now running drive clone using ddrescue in parted magic live cd.

Is that normal the process take 2 day for complete?

I'm using backward / reverse clone because with normal process is take time 14 days.

See http://www.hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=557 but read the entire thread.

Hi this is the hdd gui result.
Sorry i don't know how to spoiler attached file.

Still wait until 4 days,
So the better way is stop the process?

Update,
Failed using ddrescue, it's says the destination drive is full. But I already prepare 2 tb wd drive for backup.
I decide analyze using testdisk and get this result.

I try to copy but always failed.
Any suggestion for newbie like me, and sorry my english is very bad.

I Succeed clone the drive using clonezilla to my external wd 2 tb.
and the result is like this,



I try using ufs file recovery but can't read the data.
Try using testdisk right now. But still on 80 % in deep search.

What is the model number of the Seagate drive?

How many partitions are on the Seagate drive?

I would examine the clone with a disc editor in readonly mode. Could we see the Partitions window in DMDE (freeware disc editor)?
