1.5 yrs of data lost??

[dheerajpant]

Hi all,

I have a 1 TB WD external harddisk(My Passport).
Yesterday I tried to connect it to my system and to my horror, it didn't showed in the My Computers where all the drives are shown.
I tried many times and after a while it started showing there.



But now the problem is that whenever I am trying to copy the content of the harddisk it freezes and becomes non-responsive.



In the 'disk management' it shows that the partition is healthy :



So, is there a way that I can recover the data from the hdd.

Thanks

try on another system(preferably a laptop).maybe issue is with insufficient power.anyway whenever it gets detected install crystaldisk info & use it to check hdd health & post a screenshot of S.M.A.R.T values table here.

Try apps like Easeus data recovery ASAP!

Try Recuva.

But, try copying less amount of data at a time i.e 5GB at max. Would be time consuming but would ensure DATA recovery. Later format the HDD.
After format there is every chance it would go kaput, if not try copying large chunk of data to it (~30GB), see if PC hangs. If PC hangs then replace the HDD.

I already tried Recuva it is taking enormous amount of time just to scan a folder for just video files so, I always cancel the process and the system freezes...

@ Pratyush

Haven't tried Easeus but would surely do...

Thanks

1B pending sectors means 27 in normal decimal system.though it is not such a large value still it is worrisome.try writing something to disk & if it completes successfully check if this value changes.if it does again post the screenshot.
