Question Saving disk data

Arieh · Jan 31, 2020

I connected 2tb WD internal disk by usb cable to my desktop win10. In file explorer I see 2 partitions , E an F. Trying to access to F the computer working and can’t access, diskmgmt.msc take a long time, but finally shows F as Raw. Trying to run chkdsk E: /f take couple of hours and it’s still on 21% with couple of massages delete corrupted attribute list entry with type code 100 in file ....
Is there any way to recover the disk, or at least to save the data?
BTW at first connection I saw that there was many files on F and the folders had blue mark on each of them and I even able to open some files on that disk. The second time I connect to this disk the file system gone

Connect the drive as an internal, and then clone it with a tool which understands how to work with bad media, eg ddrescue or HDDSuperClone. Then run data recovery software against the clone.

Avoid CHKDSK. It will only make the problems worse.

Start by assessing the drive's physical state by obtaining a SMART report with a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo. Look for reallocated, pending or uncorrectable sectors.

I can’t connect this drive as internal , since it’s 3.5” and my desktop don’t have a place for that size, is there other way?

"I connected 2tb WD internal disk by usb cable "

What specific USB cable?
If this is a 3.5" drive, it also needs wall power. USB alone cannot provide the needed 12v.

USB is not an ideal interface for cloning an unstable drive.

BTW, you can stabilise some WD models by applying the "slow fix". You can do this with HDDSuperClone (using a HDDSuperTool script).

Running CrystalDiskInfo on the corrupted disks, which have 2 partitions (E,F), It shows me that the health status is caution, any idea how to save the data? BTW, mounting this disk to linux can give me access to the data?
