I've scanned my external HDD (Seagate 1TB) with HDD Tune Pro and found more than 40% of it has bad sector.

I have a HDD recovery software. (EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard 5.8.5)

It presents 3 options for recovery.

a) Deleted File Recovery

b) Complete

c) Partition Recovery

Which one should I choose to transfer data?

merhaba abi,

you should first make a sector to sector clone of your disk to another disk and than think of using some software.

If you run software on a disk which has 40% bad sectors you will probably kill it and make it even worse.

let me know if you need any help.

How to do that?

"you should first make a sector to sector clone of your disk to another disk and than think of using some software."

1) How to do that?

2) Whch one should I chooseif the bad sector rate was 10%?

With 40% bad sectors I doubt it's gonna be done/good idea using software, you best bet will be hardware imager IMHO, but if you ready to put your data on the line, you can try ddrescue or hddsuperclone

Why doesn't anybody just answer my original question?

Which one should I choose among those options?

There you have it
I'm not familiar with easyus but by reading the options you have provided, b supposed to be your choice
but it seems to me that you are working on the source drive so,

"PLEASE DON'T COME TO ME AFTER YOU HEVE MANAGED TO KILL THE DRIVE"

Is there "hardware imager" software which I can use easily?


"ddrescue" is hard to understand. Damn! you have to write codes to use it. I didn't understand damn thing when I downloaded it.

I'm waiting nearly a week for a solution.

What would I know "hardware imager" sofware If I know I wouldn't have asked.

Can you recommend a "hardware imager" sofware?

a hardware imager is a lot of money and usually it's not worth for a single job
but if you insist... below are the manufactures I'm aware of
Deepspar, Ace laboratory, Atola, Dolphin data lab, MRTlab
I maybe forgotten someone...
But definitely enough for one day

So, pray for me then..I go with "ddrescue"

I had downloaded once but I couldn't use it. I think codes are written to use it.

Can you simply say how to transfer data from (h) to d on ddrescue?

So, since hardware imager is not feasible I go with "ddrescue". Pray for me.

I had downloaded ddrescue but i couldn't use it.

How to transfer data from h to d in ddrescue can you tell me simply?

Can you give me a link or put it dropbox or something? I even couldn't download it.

Why not practice on sample drives to learn how it works first?

As far your original question: software based utilities, like Easues is not good for a drive in your condition.
