We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
In fact, the offer to format may appear in the menu, but that doesn't mean that it can do it. Considering how badly messed up this drive is, I somehow doubt that it could be successfully formatted, then used for an extended period of time, before it cracks up again. |
Anyway, I definitely understand there are huge problems with the HDD so it will definitely be sent back to Seagate under warranty. I will try a format to see if it is able to allow me to at least access the HDD with these data recovery programs. I've been able to recover a little bit of data previously many years ago from a hard drive that was formatted.. so I'm hoping for the same here. |
Before you attempt to format, try to make a backup image of the hard drive. See: http://www.runtime.org/gdbimage.htm for an example. There are ways of doing similar things with other tools you may already have. I think GetDataBack's imaging option will work in the demo or on their live linux cd [runtime.org] before you register / buy the product. You want to be pretty particular about how you try to create a backup image of the drive, do some homework.
It seems your computer detects the external HD's USB-SATA interface but not the HD connected to that interface, which could indicate a bad drive inside the external enclosure. |
have you try stand by the computer, connect HDD, wake up computer.
Probably going to wait till next weekend before I play with this again. |
I'd try to see if you can resolve the error message you got in spinrite. 2TB is not a specific enough description of the size. You should see a much more specific (byte/block level) description of the size. It's possible this disparity is the result of all the bad sectors. Try running TestDisk to rebuild the partition table. http://www.cgsecurity. Again, all of these tools will function a little better if the problem disk is attached directly to the sata connectors on the motherboard. I would personally avoid doing much of this in windows, I would tend to boot off a linux live disc. |
As an update, to this thread I can no longer recommend spinrite as of version 6.0 the "current" version released in 2004! It just doesn't handle larger drives right nor newer computer bios properly. I'm sorry you wasted you time with it OP. It had been a long time since I last used it and just suffered some data loss of my own and spinrite was useless. I'm seriously lamenting the limited depth of my back up scheme.
IMHO, ddrescue (gnu version not dd_rescue) on a linux live disc (like www.sysresccd.o Last edited by jkee; 10-06-2012 at 02:00 PM.. |
Ok guys, I'm back again. I haven't touched my hard drive for weeks now, but I have a new idea that I don't know if it would work or not.
The Master Boot Record (MBR). Does this have anything to do with my hard drive? Here is what I still think, that my data is still all there, I just can't access it for whatever reason. I was hoping that it's a MBR issue that can be fixed.. but I'm still trying to figure that out. So I still don't understand fully what the MBR is, but in my mind, it's something that allows Windows to recognize your hard drive, and interact with it. The question is, does a drive that does not have Windows installed on it have an MBR? I would think all drives have this? I tried using this guide to repair MBRs: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_r.. But I think it's assuming that the drive contains Windows 7. Just as a reminder, my faulty drive was a storage drive. I tried doing this repair on my old computer with only the faulty drive installed. So basically, I had no idea what I was doing, or if it would work, but I did it anyway, and nothing happened. So I want to ask you guys here for some advice. - First, do all drives have an MBR? - Can I fix the damaged MBR on my hard drive? Do I do something like the guide I linked? - Do you guys think the MBR is the issue here? Or is my hard drive just dead? |
The MBR is the Master Boot Record.
All it does is tell Windows to start up. That is to say that the bios comes first, then it hands it over to the MBR that tells the OS to start up. In other words, it has absolutely nothing to do with being able to access data on your drive. For instance, an external hard drive, has no MBR, but all the data is available. Yes, you can fix the MBR, and no, it won't do anything for you. |

Technical Properties of the Arbitron PPM System
To respond to these inquiries, I carefully read the relevant patents (U.S. 5,450,490, 5,764,763, 5,581,800, and 5,787,334) issued to Arbitron. In addition to the patents themselves, the file folders ("file wrappers") maintained by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) containing correspondence between the inventors and the patent examiner during the application process are in the public domain and available to any interested party.
Since most of the relevant patents were filed and issued in the late 1990s, it is possible, and perhaps likely, that Arbitron has advanced the PPM technology beyond that described in its patents. Nevertheless, the fundamental basis of PPM as described in these patents is entirely consistent with Arbitron's public literature.
The PPM system is just one example of watermarking technology, which has been subject to extensive research for the past two decades. The Arbitron PPM system embeds watermarks with station identification codes into the audio program at the time of broadcast using an encoder in each individual radio station's transmission chain. Portable PPM decoders then identify which stations the wearers of these people meters are listening to.
In order to embed the digital bits that make up the identification code, watermarking modifies the original audio by adding new content or changing existing audio components. The goal of an ideal audio watermarking system is to be 100 percent reliable in terms of embedding and extracting the watermarking data in all "typical" listener scenarios while remaining 100 percent inaudible for all "typical" program material. These goals underscore a paradox: 100 percent encoding reliability requires audible watermarks. Conversely, to achieve total inaudibility, watermarks cannot be present on some material, which sacrifices reliability. Anecdotal reports from radio broadcasters say that Arbitron lowered the watermarking energy in response to complaints about the watermarking being audible in certain circumstances. Trade offs must always be made in audio watermarking systems to balance audibility and reliability.
Some radio broadcasters question whether the PPM watermarking system is as reliable as Arbitron claims. From my analysis, I conclude that the answer is both yes and no, depending on the definition of typical program material and typical listening environments.
Real-world conditions may not always match the assumptions made by the PPM system designers. This article explores potential consequences of station programming and listener behavior that deviate from the PPM system designers' assumptions of typical. After conducting a modest literature search, I found no published papers that describe the behavior of the PPM system in real-world conditions. Because of the absence of empirical data, this article also considers how an empirical evaluation might be conducted.

Lutonix has developed a balloon catheter that is very similar in shape and size to other small balloon catheters except that the balloon is coated with a drug called paclitaxel. The Lutonix Drug Coated Balloon Catheter is an investigational device and is not approved for commercial use in the US. The purpose of this research study is to investigate if the treatment of narrowed leg blood vessels below the knee with the Lutonix Drug Coated Balloon Catheter is safe and beneficial.
