Hello guys, have been having some problems with my HDD on my HTPC. The HDD is 5 years old. Since the past couple of days, Windows 7 would not go past the logo. So I unplugged the HDD and connected it to my main rig. When I ran crystaldiskinfo, I was shocked at the results :shock: Is there any chance of data recovery from the HDD. I have unplugged it and kept it aside. I hope I would be able to power it for the final time to recover my data.
 
Yeah should be able to recover data, and I would do it ASAP before the drive dies.
 
In term a tool says "bad" then it seems to be really really bad. Usually in my experience i never had any tool telling me "bad" even when a drive was truly running bad. So... i dont really trust tools, but when they see a failure it is truly super bad... thats certain.
