My disk must have crashed - damaged
Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2009 1:47 am
Drive froze up, and it vanished from Windows. I disconnected and stored it for a while, and then decided to see if R-Studio could help me. I was happy to see that when I re-installed the drive, (and aborted the chkdisk) that it did show up. But when I run R-studio to recover the files, it seems that it may or may not get through a file before it gets a CRC error. I hear the drive retrying and retrying. I tried to "Stop" the operation, but it doesn't seem to stop and just keeps reporting the 10 CRC errors (with a slightly advanced position by 512). I finally terminated the process, and looked at the file and I was able to get the first bit of it, but then .. nothing.
If I let it keep going, eventually the drive quits, or Windows thinks there are too many errors or something and the drive completely vanishes, and R-studio begins to pump out a ton of "device not present" or something like that errors.
No way to build an image, because of the disconnection issue.
